Floor joint sealing in Bonkle, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
Work in a place like Bonkle is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Bonkle need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

New homes and floors in Bonkle
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around North Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Bonkle Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Hartwood station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Questions from Bonkle
Will you come out to Bonkle?
Yes, Bonkle is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Bonkle?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bonkle is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. 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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.

When to call us in Bonkle
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a building such as Coltness High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Surface by 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.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Bonkle, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
