What floor joint sealing looks like in Cairneyhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Fife, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigflower Preparatory School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Cairneyhill Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Cairneyhill questions
Is Cairneyhill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. 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.
I let a flat near Dunfermline City station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Cairneyhill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Cairneyhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
