Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
About our floor joint sealing in Thornhill
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. Typical jobs include gaps opening between the floor and skirting and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
For floor joint sealing in Thornhill, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Thornhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Thornhill
Floors around Stirling 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Thornhill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Thornhill?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
In and around Thornhill, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
