Floor joints in Lundin Links need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Lundin Links
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and tiled floors alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Lundin Links, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Lundin Links questions
Is Lundin Links in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Lundin Links is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Lundin Links?
Yes. Lundin Links 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.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.

Advice
Floor joint sealing around Lundin Links
Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Lundin Links, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lundin Links
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In an older home around Lundin Links, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Lundin Links
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
For landlords with property near Leven station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
