Floor joint sealing in Blairgowrie and Rattray
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and tiled floors with no room to move.
In a town like Blairgowrie and Rattray, older streets sit alongside newer estates. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. In a Scottish town like Blairgowrie and Rattray, parking is generally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
New homes and floors in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Across Perth and Kinross, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own 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.
Managing a site like Blairgowrie High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Blairgowrie and Rattray questions
Is Blairgowrie and Rattray in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Blairgowrie and Rattray is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What’s the best way to get a price for floor joint sealing in Blairgowrie and Rattray?
Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where. You’ll get a clear, fixed price before any work starts.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Why act early in Blairgowrie and Rattray
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 flats with a shared stair in Blairgowrie and Rattray, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, which turns a small job into a bigger one.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
When to call us in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Around Blairgowrie and Rattray, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
