About our floor joint sealing in Ardentinny
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Floor joint sealing in Ardentinny: local notes
Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Community buildings like Ardentinny Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Questions from Ardentinny
Is Ardentinny in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ardentinny is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ardentinny?
Yes, Ardentinny is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Ardentinny, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
What we are called out for in Ardentinny
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For landlords with property near Garelochhead station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
