Floor & skirting joints in Borestone, Stirling
Problem with your floor joints in Borestone? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards

- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Floor joint sealing in Borestone, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Common call-outs are for open joints around bathroom floor edges and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors.
For a place like Borestone, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Borestone questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Stirling station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Borestone for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Borestone is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Borestone?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
In and around Borestone, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Borestone, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Around Borestone, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

New homes and floors in Borestone
Across Stirling, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Rented homes near Stirling station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
