Floor joint sealing in Aberdeen: how it works

Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at thresholds between rooms and open joints that fill with dirt.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes.

  1. First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
  2. We remove what’s in the joint now.
  3. We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
  4. The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
  5. The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

What affects the price in Aberdeen

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Where we work in Aberdeen

From Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill to its smaller places, Aberdeen has new developments as well as older homes. Snagging in new homes and floor joints in older ones are both part of the work.

We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and Aberdeen is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Along the coast in Aberdeen, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Aberdeen: If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Rutherford Church And Church Hall, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aberdeen Grammar School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why act early?

An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down.

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet room and bathroom floors

In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.

Thresholds

Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

If you manage several properties in or around Aberdeen, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

What sealant work can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
  • Cracked or broken concrete slabs
  • Large cracks that need a surveyor

What we are called out for in Aberdeen

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Failed joint filler in concrete floors
  • Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
  • Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
  • Open joints that fill with dirt

Questions from Aberdeen

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

Will there be a smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

When can I walk on the floor?

That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.

How long does floor joint sealing take?

That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
