About our floor joint sealing in Kinfauns
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Joints and finishes in Kinfauns homes
Across Perth and Kinross, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Kinfauns, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Kinfauns
Do you cover Kinfauns for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kinfauns is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor and we will quote.
When to call us in Kinfauns
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Rented homes near Perth station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Kinfauns need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- 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 about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Look at floor joints each spring
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kinfauns
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Kinfauns, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
