Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Letham
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We’re often asked to deal with open joints that fill with dirt and gaps at thresholds between rooms, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Letham and across Angus.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.

FAQs for Letham
Do you cover Letham for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Letham is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Letham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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 photos.
New homes and floors in Letham
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Angus, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. In and around Letham, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
What affects the quote in Letham
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Landlord and commercial work in Letham
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a place like Letham, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
