Floor joint sealing in Bankfoot, done properly
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. Typical jobs include gaps at thresholds between rooms and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
Work in a place like Bankfoot is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Bankfoot need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

What floor joint sealing looks like in Bankfoot
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you let a flat or house near Dunkeld & Birnam station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Auchtergaven Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why act early in Bankfoot
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Bankfoot, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
