Floor & skirting joints in Muirhead, Dundee
Floor joint sealing across Muirhead and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Why it’s worth doing now in Muirhead
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Muirhead
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a place like Muirhead, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Common questions in Muirhead
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Muirhead?
Yes. Muirhead 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.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.

New homes and floors in Muirhead
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Dundee, 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.
Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
