Floor joint sealing in Bunessan
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Bunessan
Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Bunessan, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bunessan
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Bunessan?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Community buildings like Kilvickeon Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Bunessan questions
Is floor joint sealing in Bunessan guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Bunessan in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Bunessan is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
