Why it’s worth doing now in Contin
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a place like Contin, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing in Contin
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. If you are dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can help.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Contin
Will you come out to Contin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Garve station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Floor joint sealing around Contin
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you let a flat or house near Garve station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Contin
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Community buildings like Contin Church Of Scotland Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Contin
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
