How we handle floor joint sealing in Gartmore
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. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gartmore, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
If you manage several properties in or around Gartmore, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Floor joint sealing around Gartmore
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Stirling, 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.
In and around Gartmore, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
