How we handle floor joint sealing in Blackness
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open joints that fill with dirt, we can help.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Blackness, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Blackness, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we’re called out for in Blackness
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dundee School of Architecture, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job

Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
New homes and floors in Blackness
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For landlords with property near Dundee station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.

Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
