About our floor joint sealing in Kelhead
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor edges that trap water and grime and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
New homes and floors in Kelhead
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Dumfries and Galloway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Annan station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Outdoor work around Kelhead depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why it’s worth doing now in Kelhead
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Kelhead, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why Kelhead clients choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
