- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.

Preparing for the visit

Floor joint sealing in Duror
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and people most often call us about perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Duror: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Duror?
All our work, in Duror and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Duror?
Yes. Duror is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What affects the quote in Duror
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

If you manage several properties in or around Duror, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In a place like Duror, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we are called out for in Duror
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Adamnan's Episcopal Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
Floor joint sealing in Duror: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Duror, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
