Floor joint sealing in Carronshore
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We’re often asked to deal with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a place like Carronshore, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually 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.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.

Joints and finishes in Carronshore homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Falkirk run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Falkirk Grahamston station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Yes, Carronshore is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Carronshore
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Schools such as Graeme High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
