What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

About our floor joint sealing in Pathhead
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Pathhead, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Floor joint sealing in Pathhead: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across East Ayrshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near New Cumnock station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. In and around Pathhead, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Pathhead is about 18 miles east of Ayr, in East Ayrshire. Across the KA18 area, we can carry out floor joint sealing at your property. Pathhead is one of 53 places in East Ayrshire where we work. We also work in Glasgow, about 31 miles from Pathhead.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Questions from Pathhead
Do you cover smaller places like Pathhead?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near New Cumnock station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When can I walk on the floor?
We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a place like Pathhead, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
