Scotlandwell: your questions answered
I let a flat near Lochgelly station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Scotlandwell?
Yes, Scotlandwell is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Scotlandwell?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Floor joint sealing in Scotlandwell, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
Work in a place like Scotlandwell is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
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.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Scotlandwell depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Scotlandwell?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For buildings such as Portmoak Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Floor joint sealing around Scotlandwell
Across Perth and Kinross, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
