About our floor joint sealing in Markinch
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you are dealing with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Markinch, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Markinch
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Markinch?
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Rented homes near Markinch station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
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.
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.
Why act early in Markinch
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Markinch
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What floor joint sealing looks like in Markinch
Floors around Fife run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a building such as Auchmuty High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
