How we handle floor joint sealing in Fearn
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Fearn, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fearn as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Fearn
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you let a flat or house near Fearn station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Fearn, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Fearn
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.
Around Fearn, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
