Floor joint sealing in Bucklerheads
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
Floor joint sealing in Bucklerheads: local notes
Across Dundee, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. 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 Balmossie station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Braeview Academy? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
