Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t paint over silicone
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Galston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kilmarnock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Galston?
Yes, Galston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. 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.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
New homes and floors in Galston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around East Ayrshire 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.
For buildings such as Church of Scotland, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Kilmarnock station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common problems we fix in Galston
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loudoun Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
