- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Balmacara
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Balmacara, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

New homes and floors in Balmacara
Floors around Highland 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Balmacara, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the quote in Balmacara
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common questions in Balmacara
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Duirinish station?
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’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Balmacara?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balmacara is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
