Floor joint sealing in Hairmyres: local notes
Floors around South Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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.
Schools such as Duncanrig Secondary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hairmyres
Across Hairmyres, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Hairmyres
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you let a flat or house near Hairmyres station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Questions from Hairmyres
Is Hairmyres within the area you cover?
Yes, Hairmyres 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 help a landlord with a rental near Hairmyres station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Hairmyres?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
