- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in West Tofts
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We are often asked to deal with threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Floor joint sealing around West Tofts
Floors around Perth and Kinross 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around West Tofts, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around West Tofts, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

West Tofts: your questions answered
Is West Tofts in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and West Tofts is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is West Tofts within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Around West Tofts, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. In a place like West Tofts, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
