Floor joint sealing in Craichie, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a place like Craichie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Craichie
Floors around Angus run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Dunnichen Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Craichie, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Craichie questions
Is Craichie in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Craichie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Craichie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Craichie, along with the rest of our area.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Craichie
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Around Craichie, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
