Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Allanton
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and tiled floors with no room to move.
For a place like Allanton, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Allanton
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In an older home around Allanton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Floor joint sealing around Allanton
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across South Lanarkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ferniegair Mission Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady's High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
