- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Floor joint sealing in Jamestown, done properly
Across Jamestown, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Jamestown need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Floor joint sealing around Jamestown
Floors around Fife run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own 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.
If you look after a building such as Inverkeithing High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

When to call us in Jamestown
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Episcopal Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
