How we handle floor joint sealing in Kirkliston
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. Common call-outs are for grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Work in a place like Kirkliston is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Kirkliston, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t paint over silicone
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Kirkliston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

Floor joint sealing around Kirkliston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kirkliston Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Dalmeny station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Queensferry High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Kirkliston
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
