What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Floor joint sealing in Fernhill, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice because it handles water. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are open joints that fill with dirt and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
For a place like Fernhill, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Fernhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Common problems we fix in Fernhill
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Managing a site like Fernhill School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fernhill
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Fernhill
Floors around South Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For buildings such as Stonelaw Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Burnside station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
