Floor joint sealing in Craigends
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Craigends
Do you work for landlords with property near Johnstone station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Craigends within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Craigends.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Craigends?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Schools such as Gryffe High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a place like Craigends, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Floor joint sealing in Craigends: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Renfrewshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Fillan's R.C. Church and School, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Johnstone station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The type of property

We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Craigends depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
