Floor & skirting joints in Wilkieston, West Lothian
Our applicators work in Wilkieston on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Why act early in Wilkieston
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a place like Wilkieston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Floor joint sealing in Wilkieston
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. Common call-outs are for open joints around bathroom floor edges and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Work in a place like Wilkieston is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Joints and finishes in Wilkieston homes
Floors around West Lothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Wilkieston, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.

I let a flat near Kirknewton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
