We cover Balmullo for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Balmullo
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Balmullo. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help.
Around smaller Scottish places like Balmullo, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common problems we fix in Balmullo
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
If you let a flat or house near Leuchars station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Floor joint sealing in Balmullo: local notes
Floors around Fife run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Balmullo, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
