Floor joint sealing in Ardrishaig
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Typical jobs include rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps at thresholds between rooms, across skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a place like Ardrishaig, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ardrishaig and everywhere else we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In a place like Ardrishaig, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Ardrishaig need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.

When to call us in Ardrishaig
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Look out for these signs:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Schools such as Lochgilphead High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
Ardrishaig: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Ardrishaig guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Ardrishaig within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Joints and finishes in Ardrishaig homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Ardrishaig, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
