Cullicudden Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in Cullicudden? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our floor joint sealing in Cullicudden
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Cullicudden, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Advice
What else we do in Cullicudden
Floor joint sealing in Cullicudden: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
Rented homes near Alness station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Cullicudden
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Cullicudden Church and burial ground, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
