Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Dunkeld
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Dunkeld. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and tiled floors with no room to move, we can help, on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dunkeld
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Dunkeld questions
Is Dunkeld in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Dunkeld is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Dunkeld?
Yes. Dunkeld is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Dunkeld
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Perth and Kinross, 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.
In and around Dunkeld, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Rented homes near Dunkeld & Birnam station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
