Munlochy questions
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Munlochy?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Munlochy?
Yes, Munlochy is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Munlochy
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include gaps opening between the floor and skirting and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Munlochy
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Floor joint sealing in Munlochy: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around Munlochy, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Munlochy
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Community buildings like Knockbain Munlochy Parish Church and Boundary Wall are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Munlochy may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
