Floor joint sealing around Cawdor
Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Cawdor, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Cawdor
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We are often asked to deal with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, across wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Cawdor
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Rented homes near Nairn station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cawdor
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Cawdor may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Cawdor: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Nairn station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Cawdor for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cawdor is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
