Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Saline
Across Saline, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you’re dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can help.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common questions in Saline
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Saline?
All our work, in Saline and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Saline in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Saline is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
What sealant 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. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. 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.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outside jobs in Saline 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 is not affected.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Saline
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Fife 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.
Around Saline, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For buildings such as Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
