- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
What we’re called out for in Blairmore
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Strone Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- What guarantee comes with the work
About our floor joint sealing in Blairmore
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can help.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Blairmore
Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Letting a property close to Gourock station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In a place like Blairmore, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

FAQs for Blairmore
Do you work for landlords with property near Gourock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Blairmore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What affects the quote in Blairmore
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
