What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Kames may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How we handle floor joint sealing in Kames
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Kames
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Kames questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Kames?
Yes, Kames is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Kames guaranteed?
All our work, in Kames and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Kames?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
In and around Kames, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Floor joint sealing around Kames
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Muirkirk Old Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Kames, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
