Why it’s worth doing now in Lochinver
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Around Lochinver, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Floor joint sealing in Lochinver
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 work on thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lochinver as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
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 morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Lochinver, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

New homes and floors in Lochinver
Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Lochinver itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Lochinver, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Lochinver (Gaelic: Loch an Inbhir) is in Highland. Across the IV27 area, our applicators can take on floor joint sealing. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, Lochinver among them.

FAQs for Lochinver
Is floor joint sealing in Lochinver guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochinver?
Yes, Lochinver is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
When can I walk on the floor?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
