How we handle floor joint sealing in Lochaline
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Lochaline
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Kiel Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lochaline

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Lochaline?
Yes. Lochaline is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
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.

What else we do in Lochaline
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlord and commercial work in Lochaline
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Lochaline can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Lochaline may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
