DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Falkland
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help.
Work in a place like Falkland 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 a one-year guarantee.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint

Why it’s worth doing now in Falkland
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
FAQs for Falkland
Can you do floor joint sealing in Falkland?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Falkland is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Ladybank station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What we’re called out for in Falkland
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Around Falkland, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Floor joint sealing in Falkland: local notes
Across Fife, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Rented homes near Ladybank station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
