Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Aywick
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include floor edges that trap water and grime and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Yes, Aywick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds

Floor joint sealing around Aywick
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across the Shetland Islands, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For jobs in and around Aywick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Aywick, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

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. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
