About our floor joint sealing in Stonehouse
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you are dealing with caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Somewhere like Stonehouse may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Stonehouse
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send photos if you have them.

Stonehouse questions

I let a flat near Larkhall station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
New homes and floors in Stonehouse
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around South Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Stonehouse Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
What we are called out for in Stonehouse
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Rented homes near Larkhall station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
