Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Craighouse
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. Typical jobs include grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds.
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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Joints and finishes in Craighouse homes
Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Community buildings like Craighouse Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Craighouse 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.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What we’re called out for in Craighouse
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Around Craighouse, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Craighouse
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Craighouse?
All our work, in Craighouse and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Yes, Craighouse is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
