When to call us in Achnacroish
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For jobs in and around Achnacroish, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Achnacroish
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and tiled floors with no room to move.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Achnacroish
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Floor joint sealing around Achnacroish
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Argyll and Bute, 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Achnacroish, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Achnacroish questions
Do you cover smaller places like Achnacroish?
Yes. Achnacroish is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Achnacroish for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Achnacroish is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Achnacroish need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
