Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Melness
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Around smaller Scottish places like Melness, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

New homes and floors in Melness
Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Melness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Advice
When to call us in Melness
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
In and around Melness, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
