Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Kirkcaldy, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
A lot of new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and they settle in their first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up in the first year or two.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Kirkcaldy, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Floor joint sealing in Kirkcaldy: local notes
Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you let a flat or house near Kirkcaldy station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkcaldy High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrews Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
