Why it’s worth doing now in Dunmore
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 Dunmore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Dunmore customers choose us
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Dunmore
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We are often asked to deal with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dunmore, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Dunmore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
When to call us in Dunmore
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Community buildings like Airth Parish Church and Churchyard are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Floor joint sealing in Dunmore: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Falkirk run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Alloa station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Alloa Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
