Floor joint sealing in Drakemyre, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Typical jobs include gaps at thresholds between rooms and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on skirting boards, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Floor joint sealing in Drakemyre: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across North Ayrshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Trinity Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Drakemyre
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dalry station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Drakemyre?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Why act early in Drakemyre
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a place like Drakemyre, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
