How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Floor joint sealing in Aberuthven, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
For a place like Aberuthven, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Aberuthven and across Perth and Kinross.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Aberuthven
Across Perth and Kinross, 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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you let a flat or house near Gleneagles station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Aberuthven
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Schools such as Community School of Auchterarder are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
