Floor joint sealing in Barnhill, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In Barnhill, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Barnhill
Is Barnhill in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Barnhill 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Balmossie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. For landlords in Barnhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Barnhill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
New homes and floors in Barnhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Dundee run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Monifieth High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like St Margaret's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
