Common questions in Dalmore
Can you do floor joint sealing in Dalmore?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Dalmore is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alness station?

Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Floor joint sealing in Dalmore, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dalmore, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Dalmore
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a building such as Alness Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Floor joint sealing in Dalmore: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Rosskeen Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Alness station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. 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.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Dalmore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
