Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Floor joint sealing in Colbost
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have gaps opening between the floor and skirting and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Colbost, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

New homes and floors in Colbost
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
For jobs in and around Colbost, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Advice
What we are called out for in Colbost
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
In and around Colbost, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

FAQs for Colbost
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Colbost?
All our work, in Colbost and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Colbost within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
