How we handle floor joint sealing in Westwoodhill
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and tiled floors with no room to move.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Floor joint sealing around Westwoodhill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around South Lanarkshire 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.
Schools such as Duncanrig Secondary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Westwoodhill?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Rented homes near Hairmyres station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Westwoodhill
Will you come out to Westwoodhill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hairmyres station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. In a place like Westwoodhill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
