Advice
Floor joint sealing in Gairloch, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gairloch, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Questions from Gairloch
Will you come out to Gairloch?
Yes. Gairloch 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.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Gairloch?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Gairloch.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Gairloch
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Gairloch High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. In and around Gairloch, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
