Joints and finishes in Ardminish homes
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. 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.
In and around Ardminish, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For buildings such as Gigha Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

About our floor joint sealing in Ardminish
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors, and people most often call us about concrete floor joints that have broken down and worn sealant at door thresholds.
For a place like Ardminish, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in Ardminish
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Ardminish questions
Will you come out to Ardminish?
Yes, Ardminish is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Yes, Ardminish is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Ardminish?

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
