Your questions about floor joint sealing in Auchterderran
Is Auchterderran within the area you cover?
Yes. Auchterderran is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Auchterderran for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Auchterderran is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
When can I walk on the floor?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.

Floor joint sealing in Auchterderran
Across Auchterderran, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are gaps at thresholds between rooms and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Floor joint sealing around Auchterderran
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Fife, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lochgelly High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Auchterderran Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
