How we handle floor joint sealing in Woodhead
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can put it right.
For a place like Woodhead, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Woodhead and everywhere else we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Is Woodhead within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodhead is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Woodhead
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Floor joint sealing around Woodhead
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 look after a building such as Earnock High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Hamilton West station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Hamilton South Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
