Floor joint sealing in Widewall
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Work in a place like Widewall is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Floor joint sealing in Widewall: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around the Orkney Islands 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.
Around Widewall, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Widewall
Is Widewall in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Widewall is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Widewall?
All our work, in Widewall and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Widewall?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

What we’re called out for in Widewall
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Whether the job is in Widewall itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
