Old Dailly Floor Joint Sealing
Specialist floor joint sealing for Old Dailly: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Old Dailly
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. If you’re dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Old Dailly: your questions answered
I let a flat near Girvan station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Old Dailly in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Old Dailly is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Old Dailly, along with the rest of our area.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

When to call us in Old Dailly
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you let a flat or house near Girvan station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Floor joint sealing around Old Dailly
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across South 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.
If you look after a building such as Girvan Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old Dailly Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Old Dailly, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
