Why act early in Fowlis
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Floor joint sealing in Fowlis
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We are often asked to deal with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and floor edges that trap water and grime, across thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor

Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.

Floor joint sealing in Fowlis: local notes
Across Dundee, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Community buildings like Fowlis Easter Church And Churchyard are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What we are called out for in Fowlis
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Rented homes near Invergowrie station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
