What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Outdoor work around Auchtertyre depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

About our floor joint sealing in Auchtertyre
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you’re dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and open joints that fill with dirt, we can help, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds alike.
For a place like Auchtertyre, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Common problems we fix in Auchtertyre
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Rented homes near Duncraig station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
New homes and floors in Auchtertyre
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Lochalsh Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Auchtertyre is in Highland. Auchtertyre gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Auchtertyre is one of them.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Auchtertyre
Is Auchtertyre in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Auchtertyre is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Duncraig station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Auchtertyre?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
What affects the quote in Auchtertyre
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
