Floor joint sealing in Ravenstruther
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Joints and finishes in Ravenstruther homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around South Lanarkshire 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.
Schools such as Lanark Grammar School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outside jobs in Ravenstruther need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Ravenstruther
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Ravenstruther
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Rented homes near Carstairs station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

FAQs for Ravenstruther
I let a flat near Carstairs station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Ravenstruther in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ravenstruther is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
