Floor & skirting joints in Greenside, Edinburgh
We cover Greenside for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Greenside
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Older tenement flats usually have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Greenside, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we are called out for in Greenside
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Look out for these signs:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Schools such as London Street Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
- The length of the guarantee
What floor joint sealing looks like in Greenside
Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Cuthbert's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Greenside, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Other services in Greenside
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- More than 20 years in sealant work

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Structural movement or subsidence
