Floor Joint Sealing in Saughtonhall
Our applicators work in Saughtonhall on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing in Saughtonhall
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can help, whatever the surface.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Saughtonhall as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Saughtonhall
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Floor joint sealing around Saughtonhall
Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For buildings such as Murrayfield Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Balgreen Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Slateford station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
