Floor joint sealing in Oxton
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Around smaller Scottish places like Oxton, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Oxton
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Around Oxton, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Oxton
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Floor joint sealing around Oxton
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across the Scottish Borders, 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.
Whether the job is in Oxton itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
