Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Evanton
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Evanton is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t paint over silicone
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
New homes and floors in Evanton
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Evanton, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. Outside jobs in Evanton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Do you cover smaller places like Evanton?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
