Geirinis Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in Geirinis? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Geirinis, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we handle floor joint sealing in Geirinis
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you are dealing with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Geirinis can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Geirinis
Will you come out to Geirinis?
Yes, Geirinis is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Geirinis?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.

Floor joint sealing in Geirinis: local notes
Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For jobs in and around Geirinis, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Geirinis (Gaelic: Gerinish) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Jobs in Geirinis get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 87 places across Na h-Eileanan Siar, large and small.
Work in HS8 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need floor joint sealing at a property on Cille Bha'nain and Dun Mor or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover the places around Geirinis: Creag Ghoraidh (4 miles north), Grimsay (5 miles north-east), Balivanich (8 miles north), Baile a' Mhanaich (8 miles north) and Dalabrog (13 miles south). If you’re somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Why act early in Geirinis
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Geirinis
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
In and around Geirinis, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
