Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
About our floor joint sealing in Kingennie
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you are dealing with gaps opening between the floor and skirting and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help, on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kingennie, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Leaks from a failed tanking system

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Kingennie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What else we do in Kingennie
Why act early in Kingennie
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Kingennie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Kingennie: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Monifieth 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 will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingennie?
Yes. Kingennie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
New homes and floors in Kingennie
Across Dundee, 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you let a flat or house near Monifieth station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Monifieth High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
