Questions from Largoward
Do you cover Largoward for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Largoward is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Largoward?
All our work, in Largoward and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Floor joint sealing in Largoward, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you are dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds alike.
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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Largoward as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Largoward
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Around Largoward, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

New homes and floors in Largoward
Floors around Fife 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Largoward Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, 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 lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
