How we handle floor joint sealing in Methven
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 floor edges that trap water and grime and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Questions from Methven
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Methven?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Methven within the area you cover?
Yes. Methven is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.

What we’re called out for in Methven
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Around Methven, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Joints and finishes in Methven homes
Across Perth and Kinross, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Methven Parish Church and churchyard, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
