Floor & skirting joints in Ardler, Dundee
Professional floor joint sealing in and around Ardler, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Floor joint sealing in Ardler, done properly
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. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Ardler, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Ardler
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Ardler?
All our work, in Ardler and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Ardler for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Ardler is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Ardler
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Dundee, 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 let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
