About our floor joint sealing in Locharbriggs
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Work in a place like Locharbriggs is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Locharbriggs need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What else we do in Locharbriggs
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.

What we are called out for in Locharbriggs
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Schools such as Dumfries High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

New homes and floors in Locharbriggs
Across Dumfries and Galloway, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For buildings such as St Blane's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Dumfries station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
