Common problems we fix in Dunollie
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church Dunollie, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

About our floor joint sealing in Dunollie
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you are dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, on tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Dunollie
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Dunollie and across Argyll and Bute. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunollie
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. In a place like Dunollie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Around Dunollie, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Joints and finishes in Dunollie homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you let a flat or house near Oban station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Oban High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
