Questions from Carmichael
Do you work for landlords with property near Lanark station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, 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.
Do you cover Carmichael for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Carmichael is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Carmichael
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We are often asked to deal with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and gaps at thresholds between rooms, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors.
For a place like Carmichael, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Around Carmichael, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Carmichael?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like Carmichael Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

New homes and floors in Carmichael
Floors around South Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Rented homes near Lanark station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
