Floor joint sealing in Alyth
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you’re dealing with open joints around bathroom floor edges and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Alyth and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Alyth may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Alyth can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
When to call us in Alyth
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
In and around Alyth, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
Joints and finishes in Alyth homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Perth and Kinross run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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 Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Alyth
Do you cover Alyth for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Alyth is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Alyth within the area you cover?
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.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
