Floor joint sealing in Auldearn
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. Common call-outs are for grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Auldearn may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

What affects the quote in Auldearn
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Auldearn

I let a flat near Nairn station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Floor joint sealing around Auldearn
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Auldearn Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Nairn station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
