How we handle floor joint sealing in Cartland
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. Common call-outs are for concrete floor joints that have broken down and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Questions from Cartland
Is Cartland in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Cartland is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lanark station?

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why act early in Cartland
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. In an older home around Cartland, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

New homes and floors in Cartland
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around South Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not 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 Lanark Grammar School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job.

- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Cartland
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For landlords with property near Lanark station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
