Floor joint sealing in Easter Skeld
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. If you’re dealing with threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Easter Skeld, 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.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Easter Skeld
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Reawick Congregational Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Look at floor joints each spring
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
FAQs for Easter Skeld
Is Easter Skeld in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Easter Skeld is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Easter Skeld?
Yes, Easter Skeld is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Floor joint sealing in Easter Skeld: local notes
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Across the Shetland Islands, 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.
Around Easter Skeld, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Easter Skeld depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
