About our floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and open joints that fill with dirt.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kirkton of Auchterhouse, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kirkton of Auchterhouse and across Dundee.

Kirkton of Auchterhouse: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse guaranteed?
All our work, in Kirkton of Auchterhouse and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Kirkton of Auchterhouse within the area you cover?
Yes. Kirkton of Auchterhouse is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Kirkton of Auchterhouse need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
