Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

About our floor joint sealing in Wallacestone
Across Wallacestone, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We are often asked to deal with worn sealant at door thresholds and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When to call us in Wallacestone
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Schools such as Graeme High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

New homes and floors in Wallacestone
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Falkirk 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Brightons Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Polmont station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

FAQs for Wallacestone
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polmont station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Wallacestone for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Wallacestone is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
