Floor joint sealing in Whitehills, done properly
Across Whitehills, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors.
For a place like Whitehills, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
What we’re called out for in Whitehills
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a building such as Duncanrig Secondary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

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.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

New homes and floors in Whitehills
Across South Lanarkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you let a flat or house near East Kilbride station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
