FAQs for Stobswell
Can you do floor joint sealing in Stobswell?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Stobswell is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Stobswell
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Stobswell.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stobswell as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Stobswell, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Stobswell
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Full insurance on every job
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Floor joint sealing around Stobswell
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Dundee, 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Dundee station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like St Patrick's R.C. Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Stobswell?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Morgan Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Different surfaces, different methods
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, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Look at floor joints each spring
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
