About our floor joint sealing in Thrumster
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
Work in a place like Thrumster is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thrumster
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In an older home around Thrumster, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.

How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Thrumster depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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 smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Also in Thrumster
Floor joint sealing around Thrumster
Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Rented homes near Wick station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Thrumster is about 20 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Thrumster gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Thrumster is one of 253 places in Highland we cover.
Here we cover the KW1 postcode area for floor joint sealing. Floor joint sealing is available to properties on Finlayson Place, Bella Mackay Place and Stewart Crescent and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out floor joint sealing in Whiterow (3 miles north-east), Haster (4 miles north), Wick (4 miles north-east), Staxigoe (5 miles north-east) and Ackergillshore (6 miles north).

Landmarks near Thrumster
For rail, the closest station is Wick station, roughly 3.8 miles north of the centre. Nearby you will also find Wick Heritage Museum (3.8 miles north-east) and Wick Town and County Hospital (3.2 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Loch Hempriggs.
Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
When to call us in Thrumster
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
In and around Thrumster, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
