About our floor joint sealing in Broughty Ferry
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. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and floor edges that trap water and grime, across tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Broughty Ferry, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Broughty Ferry and across Dundee.

What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a tenement flat in Broughty Ferry, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Broughty Ferry
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Dundee, 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.
If you look after a building such as Grove Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Queen Street Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Broughty Ferry questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Broughty Ferry?
Yes, Broughty Ferry is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Broughty Ferry station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Broughty Ferry and the rest of Dundee, along with the rest of our area.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Inside a flat in Broughty Ferry, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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.
