How we handle floor joint sealing in Port Askaig
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Port Askaig and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Port Askaig questions
Will you come out to Port Askaig?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Port Askaig?
All our work, in Port Askaig and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Port Askaig depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Port Askaig: local notes
Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Port Askaig, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
