DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our floor joint sealing in Cowdenbeath
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing around Cowdenbeath
Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Beath High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.

Yes. Cowdenbeath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Yes. We are fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Advice
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
