Floor joint sealing in Arinagour, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by 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 where it suits the floor.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.

Questions from Arinagour
Do you cover Arinagour for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Arinagour is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Arinagour?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
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 grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a place like Arinagour, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
New homes and floors in Arinagour
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Coll Parish Church (Church Of Scotland) are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Around Arinagour, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
