How we handle floor joint sealing in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you have open joints around bathroom floor edges and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, 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 Church of our Lady, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. 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.

What else we do in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you look after a building such as Castlebay Community School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.

Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we’ll quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
