Hurlford questions

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Hurlford within the area you cover?

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Floor joint sealing in Hurlford, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can put it right.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

Joints and finishes in Hurlford homes
Across East Ayrshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Hurlford Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like James Hamilton Academy? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. Outside jobs in Hurlford 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.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
What affects the quote in Hurlford
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Hurlford
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Letting a property close to Kilmarnock station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
