About floor joint sealing in Angus

The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy.

First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

New homes and floors across Angus

In Angus, floor joint sealing work takes in new homes, older houses and commercial units, in Arbroath, Forfar and Carnoustie and well beyond. Every joint needs to allow for movement.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. We work across Scotland, including Angus. Along the coast in Angus, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Arbroath: Rented homes near Arbroath station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Arbroath High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Check skirting joints after the heating season

Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.

Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

Why it fails

A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Open joints around bathroom floor edges

How the job changes by surface

Tiled floors

Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.

Wet room and bathroom floors

Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.

Leave it or put it right?

Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges.

Angus questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

How long does the job take?

That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

Can tenants book the work?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Angus?

Yes, we do. Angus is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.

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.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
