How we handle floor joint sealing in Hillend
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Hillend. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and open joints that fill with dirt, we can help.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Hillend: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Hillend?
All our work, in Hillend and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Hillend?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hillend
Floors around Angus run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Hillend, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we’re called out for in Hillend
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Around Hillend, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a place like Hillend, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Also in Hillend
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. In a place like Hillend, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
