What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Westerwood 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.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive

- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Westerwood
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds.
For a place like Westerwood, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

I let a flat near Cumbernauld station. Can you help?

Where are you based?

How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Floor joint sealing in Westerwood: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across North Lanarkshire, 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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Cumbernauld station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Westerwood
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Schools such as Abronhill High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What happens if it’s left?
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. In a place like Westerwood, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
