The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Bun Othan need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How we handle floor joint sealing in Bun Othan
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try DIY first?

When to call us in Bun Othan
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
In and around Bun Othan, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Why act early in Bun Othan
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Bun Othan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Bun Othan
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St Oran’s Chapel (Orsay), floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Bun Othan (Gaelic: Port Wemyss) is in Argyll and Bute. Bun Othan gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Bun Othan is one of 118 towns and villages in Argyll and Bute we cover for floor joint sealing.
