How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Ballifeary
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Ballifeary?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What affects the quote in Ballifeary
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Ballifeary
Across Highland, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a building such as Inverness High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Ness Bank Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
