Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Dury
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can help, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors alike.
For a place like Dury, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Joints and finishes in Dury homes
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Dury, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Dury, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere like Dury may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Common problems we fix in Dury
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Look out for these signs:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
In and around Dury, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges.
