- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in North Berwick
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have open joints that fill with dirt and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

- A tiled floor that needs relaying

What happens if it’s left?

Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What floor joint sealing looks like in North Berwick
Across East Lothian, 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 building such as North Berwick High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in North Berwick need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
