Floor joint sealing in Burray Village, done properly
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Burray Village. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards alike.
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 one-year guarantee, the same in Burray Village as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
Landlord and commercial work in Burray Village
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.

New homes and floors in Burray Village
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Burray Village, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
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 photos by email if you can.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Burray Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Burray Village?
Yes, Burray Village is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Burray Village?
All our work, in Burray Village and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Burray Village and the rest of the Orkney Islands, along with the rest of our area.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Burray Village
Do you need floor joint sealing in Burray Village?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Around Burray Village, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
