Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours with out-of-hours work where needed.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
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.

We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dalwhinnie
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In an older home around Dalwhinnie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Dalwhinnie
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland 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.
For landlords with property near Dalwhinnie station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When to call us in Dalwhinnie
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
In and around Dalwhinnie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
