How we handle floor joint sealing in Garve
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. Common call-outs are for grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and floor edges that trap water and grime, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. 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, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

What floor joint sealing looks like in Garve
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Garve questions
Do you cover smaller places like Garve?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Garve station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
