How we handle floor joint sealing in Na Gearrannan
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 are often asked to deal with gaps opening between the floor and skirting and tiled floors with no room to move, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Na Gearrannan?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
For jobs in and around Na Gearrannan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Na Gearrannan?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Na Gearrannan customers choose us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Floor joint sealing in Na Gearrannan: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
