Why act early in Newbigging
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- You choose the colour before work begins

Floor joint sealing in Newbigging, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, 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. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Where are you based?

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Floor joint sealing in Newbigging: local notes
Floors around Dundee run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same 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 Newbigging Parish Church And War Memorial, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Common problems we fix in Newbigging
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For landlords with property near Monifieth station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
