How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Floor joint sealing in An Druim Beag, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like An Druim Beag, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in An Druim Beag
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For jobs in and around An Druim Beag, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in An Druim Beag need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system

An Druim Beag questions
Is floor joint sealing in An Druim Beag guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like An Druim Beag?
Yes, An Druim Beag is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Floor joint sealing around An Druim Beag
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around An Druim Beag, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
