About our floor joint sealing in Ardchonnell
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt cannot get in. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Work in a place like Ardchonnell is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why act early in Ardchonnell
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. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Ardchonnell
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Dalavich Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do. For a place like Ardchonnell, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work

FAQs for Ardchonnell
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Ardchonnell?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ardchonnell?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ardchonnell is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
New homes and floors in Ardchonnell
Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Ardchonnell, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
