Floor joint sealing in Ochiltree, done properly
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We’re often asked to deal with open joints around bathroom floor edges and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on commercial floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Ochiltree depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Ochiltree: local notes
Floors around East Ayrshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For landlords with property near Auchinleck station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Ochiltree: your questions answered
Is Ochiltree in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ochiltree is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Auchinleck station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Ochiltree and the rest of East Ayrshire.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

What we’re called out for in Ochiltree
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
