- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Burnfoot
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We are often asked to deal with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and skirting boards.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burnfoot
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Burnfoot
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you let a flat or house near Airdrie station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

FAQs for Burnfoot
Do you work for landlords with property near Airdrie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Burnfoot?
Yes. Burnfoot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Burnfoot.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.

Floor joint sealing in Burnfoot: local notes
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Airdrie Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
