Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Guardbridge
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Guardbridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Over 20 years’ experience

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
Need a quote? Please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before we start.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Guardbridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Joints and finishes in Guardbridge homes
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 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.
Rented homes near Leuchars station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
In and around Guardbridge, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
