How we handle floor joint sealing in Wester Balgedie
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you are dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Wester Balgedie is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

New homes and floors in Wester Balgedie
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Perth and Kinross 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Easter Balgedie church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Wester Balgedie questions
Is Wester Balgedie within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Wester Balgedie in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Wester Balgedie is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What we are called out for in Wester Balgedie
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Around Wester Balgedie, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Wester Balgedie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Wester Balgedie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
