Floor joint sealing in Tealing, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tealing and across Dundee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Joints and finishes in Tealing homes
Floors around Dundee run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Tealing
Is Tealing within the area you cover?
Yes. Tealing is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is floor joint sealing in Tealing guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Tealing?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

In and around Tealing, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
