Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you are dealing with caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help.
Work in a place like Craigrothie is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Craigrothie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Yes, Craigrothie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Craigrothie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.

Preparing for the visit

Advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Craigrothie?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Rented homes near Springfield station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Craigrothie
Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Bell Baxter High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
