About our floor joint sealing in Westmuir
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps at thresholds between rooms and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common questions in Westmuir
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Westmuir?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Westmuir for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Westmuir is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish. Outside jobs in Westmuir need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
What we are called out for in Westmuir
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Whether the job is in Westmuir itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Floor joint sealing in Westmuir: local notes
Floors around Angus 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Westmuir, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
