About our floor joint sealing in Shotts
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about concrete floor joints that have broken down and open joints that fill with dirt.
Around smaller Scottish places like Shotts, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

New homes and floors in Shotts
Across North Lanarkshire, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For landlords with property near Shotts station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Around Shotts, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Shotts
Do you cover smaller places like Shotts?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shotts station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Why act early in Shotts
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Shotts, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
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.
