Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Ellenabeich
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Ellenabeich
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Tin Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. In and around Ellenabeich, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
