What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally 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.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Floor joint sealing in Friockheim, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Angus.

Why it’s worth doing now in Friockheim
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. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Questions from Friockheim
Is Friockheim within the area you cover?
Yes, Friockheim is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is floor joint sealing in Friockheim guaranteed?
All our work, in Friockheim and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
New homes and floors in Friockheim
Across Angus, 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Friockheim And Kinnel Quoad Sacra Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Around Friockheim, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
