What we’re called out for in An t-Ob
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For jobs in and around An t-Ob, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

About our floor joint sealing in An t-Ob
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are failed joint filler in concrete floors and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Work in a place like An t-Ob is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in An t-Ob
Is An t-Ob within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in An t-Ob?
All our work, in An t-Ob and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What affects the quote in An t-Ob
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In an older home around An t-Ob, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What else we do in An t-Ob
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New homes and floors in An t-Ob
Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
