Floor joint sealing in Barnyards, done properly
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. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds alike.
Work in a place like Barnyards is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Barnyards depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
When to call us in Barnyards
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Whether the job is in Barnyards itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?

Floor joint sealing around Barnyards
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Barnyards, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Barnyards
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Barnyards?
All our work, in Barnyards and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Barnyards?
Yes. Barnyards is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Barnyards?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. In an older home around Barnyards, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
