Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Skye of Curr
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors, and people most often call us about floor edges that trap water and grime and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Work in a place like Skye of Curr is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why act early in Skye of Curr
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. In a place like Skye of Curr, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Floor joint sealing around Skye of Curr
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not 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.
In and around Skye of Curr, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Common problems we fix in Skye of Curr
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Whether the job is in Skye of Curr itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
