Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Strathore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

About our floor joint sealing in Strathore
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. Typical jobs include skirting caulk that keeps splitting and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, across commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors.
For a place like Strathore, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Strathore
Can you do floor joint sealing in Strathore?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Strathore 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 quote.
Will you come out to Strathore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Strathore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing around Strathore
Across Fife, 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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Kirkcaldy High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Strathore is about 2 miles south of Glenrothes, in Fife.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Strathore?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For landlords with property near Glenrothes with Thornton station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
