Joints and finishes in New Trows homes
Across South Lanarkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Lesmahagow Old Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How we handle floor joint sealing in New Trows
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you are dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
Work in a place like New Trows is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Trows
For anyone letting property in or around New Trows, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in New Trows
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Schools such as Lesmahagow High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
