DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Floor joint sealing in Altnaharra, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you are dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right.
Around smaller Scottish places like Altnaharra, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Altnaharra and everywhere else we cover.

Is Altnaharra in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Altnaharra is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is floor joint sealing in Altnaharra guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Altnaharra?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work

What floor joint sealing looks like in Altnaharra
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Highland, 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.
Whether the job is in Altnaharra itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Altnaharra, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
