The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a place like Cupar, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
How we handle floor joint sealing in Cupar
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you are dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cupar
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Common questions in Cupar
I let a flat near Cupar station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Cupar?

Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
New homes and floors in Cupar
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Bell Baxter High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you let a flat or house near Cupar station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Cupar
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old And St Michael Of Tarvit Parish Church tower and nave, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
