Floor Joint Sealing in Tullos
Problem with your floor joints in Tullos? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
About our floor joint sealing in Tullos
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
For a place like Tullos, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Common problems we fix in Tullos
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
For buildings such as Nigg Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

New homes and floors in Tullos
Across Aberdeen, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Torry Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. For a place like Tullos, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Landlord and commercial work in Tullos
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tullos
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Tullos, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
