Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Collydean
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Questions from Collydean
Will you come out to Collydean?
Yes, Collydean is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Markinch station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Collydean
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as Glenrothes High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. In a place like Collydean, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Collydean
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Fife run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Markinch station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
