New homes and floors in Dunragit
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Dumfries and Galloway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Dunragit
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

When to call us in Dunragit
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Look out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
For jobs in and around Dunragit, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
