Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Look at floor joints each spring
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Freuchie
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Freuchie. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Joints and finishes in Freuchie homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Ladybank station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in Freuchie
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
In and around Freuchie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
