New homes and floors in Tarsappie
Across Perth and Kinross, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For landlords with property near Perth station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Tarsappie
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Tarsappie
Is Tarsappie within the area you cover?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Perth station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Tarsappie?

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.

Common problems we fix in Tarsappie
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Around Tarsappie, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Tarsappie
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a place like Tarsappie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
