Advice
Floor joint sealing around Netherthird
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across East Ayrshire, 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.
Schools such as Robert Burns Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St. John, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Netherthird: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Netherthird?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Netherthird is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
