Floor joint sealing in Bridge of Allan, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, 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’ll sort it.

New homes and floors in Bridge of Allan
Floors around Stirling run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as St Saviour's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Common questions in Bridge of Allan
Is Bridge of Allan within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Bridge of Allan?
Yes, Bridge of Allan is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
How the visit works
