What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

About our floor joint sealing in Reay
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 can’t get in. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Reay need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reay
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Reay
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Highland, 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Reay, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For buildings such as Reay Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Reay
Will you come out to Reay?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is floor joint sealing in Reay guaranteed?
All our work, in Reay and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
