Floor joint sealing in Monifieth, done properly
Across Monifieth, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Monifieth and across Dundee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Monifieth
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Dundee, 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.
Schools such as Grange Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Outside jobs in Monifieth 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How long will you be here?

Will the old sealant be removed?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will there be a smell?

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a place like Monifieth, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- More than 20 years in sealant work
