Floor joint sealing in Arbroath, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
In a town like Arbroath, older streets sit alongside newer estates. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a Scottish town like Arbroath, parking is generally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Landlord and commercial work in Arbroath
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Common problems we fix in Arbroath
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Letting a property close to Arbroath station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. In Arbroath, wind and rain soon get through failed outside joints. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.

We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Joints and finishes in Arbroath homes
Floors around Angus run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as Knox's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Arbroath High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
