Floor joint sealing in Gordon
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are threshold joints that have opened or worn and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gordon, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Gordon need a dry day, because sealant won’t 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Floor joint sealing around Gordon
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around the Scottish Borders run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Gordon, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. 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.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
