How we handle floor joint sealing in Kennoway
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, on skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Kennoway
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Fife run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Kennoway Old Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkland High School and Community College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Cameron Bridge station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What affects the quote in Kennoway
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Kennoway: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Kennoway?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cameron Bridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Should I try it myself first?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
