About our floor joint sealing in Gauldry
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you have cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Gauldry
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Gauldry?
Yes, Gauldry is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a place like Gauldry, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Gauldry need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
New homes and floors in Gauldry
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Fife, 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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When to call us in Gauldry
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Community buildings like Gauldry Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
