- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Floor joint sealing in Cunningsburgh, done properly
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Cunningsburgh. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right.
For a place like Cunningsburgh, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

New homes and floors in Cunningsburgh
Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For jobs in and around Cunningsburgh, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Cunningsburgh, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Cunningsburgh is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Cunningsburgh get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Cunningsburgh is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover for floor joint sealing.
All of ZE2 is covered for floor joint sealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your property is on St Clair Road, Laxdale Road and Pundsta Place or anywhere close by, we can help. Close by, we work in Bremirehoull (1 mile south), Aithsetter (1 mile east), Mail (1 mile south), Sandwick (4 miles south) and Hoswick (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Lerwick (7 miles north), Sound (7 miles north) and Scalloway (6 miles north). Being one of the Shetland Islands’s larger places, Cunningsburgh has every kind of property, from flats to offices. For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Cunningsburgh, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Cunningsburgh
Is Cunningsburgh in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Cunningsburgh is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Cunningsburgh?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
