- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Floor joint sealing in Craigmore, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Craigmore: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Craigmore?
Yes, Craigmore is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Craigmore?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Craigmore.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not paint over silicone
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Joints and finishes in Craigmore homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Rothesay Academy? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Why it’s worth doing now in Craigmore
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. In a place like Craigmore, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What we are called out for in Craigmore
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
For buildings such as Trinity Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
