Floor joint sealing in Auchendinny
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about tiled floors with no room to move and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Around smaller Scottish places like Auchendinny, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Auchendinny as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

When to call us in Auchendinny
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Community buildings like Glencorse Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

New homes and floors in Auchendinny
Floors around Midlothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Managing a site like Beeslack Community High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Auchendinny can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Auchendinny depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
