Floor joint sealing in Old Struan, done properly
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Old Struan. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can help, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What floor joint sealing looks like in Old Struan
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Perth and Kinross run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Blair Atholl station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Common questions in Old Struan
Do you cover Old Struan for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Old Struan is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Old Struan?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What we’re called out for in Old Struan
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Community buildings like Struan Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
