How we handle floor joint sealing in Bundalloch
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. We are often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Bundalloch as everywhere else we work.

Floor joint sealing around Bundalloch
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Highland, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Bundalloch
Is Bundalloch in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bundalloch is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Bundalloch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Bundalloch
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Rented homes near Stromeferry station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
