Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Craigiebuckler
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can help, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors alike.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Craigiebuckler, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

New homes and floors in Craigiebuckler
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Aberdeen, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

How long will you be here?

Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Craigiebuckler?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Schools such as Airyhall Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Craigiebuckler, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Why act early in Craigiebuckler
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Craigiebuckler, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
