New homes and floors in Veensgarth
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
For buildings such as Tingwall Kirk, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. Outdoor work around Veensgarth depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
