Aird Tong Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in Aird Tong? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Aird Tong
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. If you’re dealing with open joints around bathroom floor edges and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help.
Work in a place like Aird Tong is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Aird Tong and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Aird Tong depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

New homes and floors in Aird Tong
Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Whether the job is in Aird Tong itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Aird Tong, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Look at floor joints each spring
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Questions from Aird Tong
Do you cover smaller places like Aird Tong?
Yes, Aird Tong is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Aird Tong for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Aird Tong is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
