Floor joint sealing in Caputh
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about worn sealant at door thresholds and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
For a place like Caputh, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Caputh and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caputh
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Floor joint sealing around Caputh
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Perth and Kinross, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Dunkeld & Birnam station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Caputh
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Caputh for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Caputh is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Caputh, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Over 20 years’ experience

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Caputh
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Caputh Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
