About our floor joint sealing in Candy Mill
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about gaps opening between the floor and skirting and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Candy Mill
Across South Lanarkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Candy Mill, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Candy Mill questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Candy Mill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Candy Mill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Candy Mill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Candy Mill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Candy Mill
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

When to call us in Candy Mill
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Whether the job is in Candy Mill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
