About our floor joint sealing in Barcaldine
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 with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Common call-outs are for failed joint filler in concrete floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Work in a place like Barcaldine 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
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.
FAQs for Barcaldine

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you an approved applicator?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Joints and finishes in Barcaldine homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Whether the job is in Barcaldine itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Barcaldine
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Around Barcaldine, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Barcaldine, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barcaldine
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
