Floor joint sealing in Arisaig
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. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

New homes and floors in Arisaig
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Arisaig station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Around Arisaig
Arisaig has its own railway station: Arisaig station. Other landmarks nearby include Land (less than half a mile south). Not far away are Loch nan Eala.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.

Why it’s worth doing now in Arisaig
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we’re called out for in Arisaig
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Roman Catholic Chapel, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
