Floor joint sealing around An t-Àth Leathann
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around An t-Àth Leathann, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Community buildings like Broadford Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How we handle floor joint sealing in An t-Àth Leathann
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like An t-Àth Leathann, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. For a place like An t-Àth Leathann, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.

Questions from An t-Àth Leathann
Is An t-Àth Leathann in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and An t-Àth Leathann is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is An t-Àth Leathann within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Why act early in An t-Àth Leathann
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a place like An t-Àth Leathann, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
