Floor joint sealing in Charleston: local notes
Across Dundee, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Lochee Baptist Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Invergowrie station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites

Why it’s worth doing now in Charleston
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Charleston, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.

Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
