Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Walston
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. Typical jobs include worn sealant at door thresholds and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across thresholds, tiled floors and commercial floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Around Walston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Joints and finishes in Walston homes
Across South Lanarkshire, 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as Walston Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Around Walston, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Walston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
