Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Drummore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Drummore
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We are often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and worn sealant at door thresholds, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
For a place like Drummore, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Drummore
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Dumfries and Galloway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Drummore, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Community buildings like Old Parish Church and Burial-Ground are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Landlord and commercial work in Drummore
Landlords and letting agents in Drummore can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Common questions in Drummore
Is floor joint sealing in Drummore guaranteed?
All our work, in Drummore and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Drummore within the area you cover?
Yes. Drummore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

- How much there is to do
