About our floor joint sealing in Letham
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and open joints that fill with dirt, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Letham: your questions answered
Is Letham in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Letham is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Letham?
Yes, Letham is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

What else we do in Letham
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Letham
Across Perth and Kinross, 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For landlords with property near Perth station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Perth High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Letham, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
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.
