Floor joint sealing in Murieston
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open joints that fill with dirt, across wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Floor joint sealing around Murieston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around West Lothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Inveralmond Community High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
