The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Floor joint sealing in Rickarton: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Rickarton Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Stonehaven station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Large cracks that need a surveyor

Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
