Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Lochgoilhead
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We’re often asked to deal with concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Lochgoilhead, 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.

Common problems we fix in Lochgoilhead
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of The Three Holy Brethren, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

New homes and floors in Lochgoilhead
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Lochgoilhead, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Which products do you use?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
