Floor joint sealing in Ganavan
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about gaps opening between the floor and skirting and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Floor joint sealing around Ganavan
Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not 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.
Rented homes near Oban station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Near you in Ganavan
Ganavan’s nearest station is Oban station, about 1.7 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find Lorn and Islands Hospital (2.5 miles south) and Oban Museum (1.2 miles south). Not far away are Barr Mòr and Lochan Dubh.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
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 if it’s in the right place.
Ganavan questions
I let a flat near Oban station. Can you help?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Ganavan may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Common problems we fix in Ganavan
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Managing a site like Oban High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What else we do in Ganavan
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
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.
