Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

About our floor joint sealing in Achintee
Across Achintee, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Joints and finishes in Achintee homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland 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.
Managing a site like Kirkton in Meikle Strath School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Questions from Achintee
Is Achintee in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Achintee is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Strathcarron station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Achintee
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Letting a property close to Strathcarron station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
