Common questions in Garrabost
Is Garrabost within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Garrabost?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Floor joint sealing in Garrabost, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We’re often asked to deal with threshold joints that have opened or worn and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Garrabost and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In an older home around Garrabost, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing around Garrabost

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
What we are called out for in Garrabost
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Community buildings like Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
