New homes and floors in Tannadice
Floors around Angus run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own 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 buildings such as Parish Church And Old Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Floor joint sealing in Tannadice
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Tannadice
Questions from Tannadice
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Tannadice?
All our work, in Tannadice and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Tannadice?
Yes, Tannadice is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Outside jobs in Tannadice need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

When to call us in Tannadice
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
In and around Tannadice, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
