Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why Plains customers choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Floor joint sealing in Plains, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Plains, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

New homes and floors in Plains
Across North Lanarkshire, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you let a flat or house near Drumgelloch station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Airdrie Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Clarkston Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What information do you need?

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
