About our floor joint sealing in Skelmorlie
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Work in a place like Skelmorlie is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Skelmorlie
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Floor joint sealing in Skelmorlie: local notes
Across North Ayrshire, 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as Skelmorlie Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Skelmorlie?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Letting a property close to Wemyss Bay station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
