Coaltown of Wemyss Floor Joint Sealing
Our applicators work in Coaltown of Wemyss on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Floor joint sealing in Coaltown of Wemyss, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Coaltown of Wemyss, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Coaltown of Wemyss, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Advice
When to call us in Coaltown of Wemyss
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
For buildings such as St Adrian's Church And Churchyard, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Joints and finishes in Coaltown of Wemyss homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Glenrothes with Thornton station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
FAQs for Coaltown of Wemyss

Is Coaltown of Wemyss in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Coaltown of Wemyss is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coaltown of Wemyss
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Around Coaltown of Wemyss, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
