About our floor joint sealing in Wigtown
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. Typical jobs include dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Wigtown
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Wigtown?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Wigtown?
Yes, Wigtown is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Wigtown?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What we’re called out for in Wigtown
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Around Wigtown, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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 it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Wigtown
- Skirting boards

- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Wigtown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Joints and finishes in Wigtown homes
Floors around Dumfries and Galloway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Sacred Heart Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
