The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a tenement in Ballumbie, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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 and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.

About our floor joint sealing in Ballumbie
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Ballumbie, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Ballumbie: your questions answered
Do you cover Ballumbie for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Ballumbie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Broughty Ferry station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out 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 I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Joints and finishes in Ballumbie homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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 Broughty Ferry station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ballumbie
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Ballumbie, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
