- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
About our floor joint sealing in Craigiebank
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Craigiebank as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Craigiebank
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
For landlords with property near Dundee station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
New homes and floors in Craigiebank
Across Dundee, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own 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 building such as Craigie High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Craigiebank Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Structural movement or subsidence

Craigiebank questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Craigiebank?
All our work, in Craigiebank and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Craigiebank?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and the area is left clean. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Craigiebank, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
