What we are called out for in South Dell
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Whether the job is in South Dell itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- What preparation is included

About our floor joint sealing in South Dell
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you are dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Joints and finishes in South Dell homes
Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In and around South Dell, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods

Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
