About our floor joint sealing in Dyke
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Joints and finishes in Dyke homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Moray run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Forres station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Dyke
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Forres station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Dyke?
Yes. Dyke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Other services in Dyke
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Dyke need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Do you need floor joint sealing in Dyke?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Dyke Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
Why act early in Dyke
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. In an older home around Dyke, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
