About our floor joint sealing in Menzieshill
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. We are often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Menzieshill, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Joints and finishes in Menzieshill homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Dundee, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Menzieshill High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Menzieshill
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Menzieshill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Invergowrie station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Menzieshill?
All our work, in Menzieshill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
