Floor joint sealing in Balemartine
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right.
Work in a place like Balemartine is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Balemartine?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
In and around Balemartine, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

Floor joint sealing around Balemartine
Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Balemartine, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What else we do in Balemartine
Common questions in Balemartine
Will you come out to Balemartine?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Balemartine?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Balemartine?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Why it’s worth doing now in Balemartine
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
