About floor joint sealing in Perth and Kinross
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. Common call-outs are for caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors.
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
What you’ll pay
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Landmarks near Perth
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Public House, St John's Academy and Perth High School. The closest station to Perth is Perth station, about 0.7 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Murray Royal Hospital (1.2 miles east) and Balhousie Castle (0.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s St Magdalene's Hill.
Where we work in Perth and Kinross
Across Perth and Kinross, from Perth, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff outwards, new homes go up alongside older streets. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Perth and Kinross. Along the coast in Perth and Kinross, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Perth: If you let a flat or house near Perth station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Perth High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Why it fails
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Perth and Kinross questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.

We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
