Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Fortrose
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include open joints that fill with dirt and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Fortrose?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Floor joint sealing in Fortrose: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Highland, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Inverness Airport station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's Episcopal Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What else we do in Fortrose
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Fortrose may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
