Floor joint sealing in Lochfoot
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and open joints that fill with dirt, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
Around smaller Scottish places like Lochfoot, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lochfoot and everywhere else we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Lochfoot depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

When to call us in Lochfoot
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church and Burial-Ground, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Joints and finishes in Lochfoot homes
Across Dumfries and Galloway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own 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.
Around Lochfoot, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing

Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
