About our floor joint sealing in Shieldhill
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Floor joint sealing around Shieldhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Falkirk, 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Graeme High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Shieldhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a place like Shieldhill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- 12-month guarantee on every job

More services for Shieldhill
Do you need floor joint sealing in Shieldhill?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you let a flat or house near Falkirk High station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
