Floor joints in Drumnadrochit need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

About our floor joint sealing in Drumnadrochit
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Drumnadrochit
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a building such as Glen Urquhart High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote

- Are they insured?

Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Drumnadrochit, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Joints and finishes in Drumnadrochit homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kilmore Parish Church of Scotland, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Questions from Drumnadrochit
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Drumnadrochit?
All our work, in Drumnadrochit and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Drumnadrochit?
Yes, Drumnadrochit is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
