Floor joint sealing in Dunning
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Dunning and across Perth and Kinross.

Joints and finishes in Dunning homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Perth and Kinross, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St Serf's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Around Dunning, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Outdoor work around Dunning depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunning
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
