Landlord and commercial work in Bellsbank

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Bellsbank
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We are often asked to deal with open joints around bathroom floor edges and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

Bellsbank: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Bellsbank?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Bellsbank?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Bellsbank is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Bellsbank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Floor joint sealing around Bellsbank
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across South Ayrshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Doon Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Around Bellsbank, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
