Floor joint sealing in Ardvasar
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about floor edges that trap water and grime and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
For a place like Ardvasar, 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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.

Questions from Ardvasar
I let a flat near Mallaig station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ardvasar?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ardvasar is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
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.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
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. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What we’re called out for in Ardvasar
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
In and around Ardvasar, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Ardvasar, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Floor joint sealing around Ardvasar
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Mallaig station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
