About our floor joint sealing in Gergask
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
For a place like Gergask, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Gergask and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Gergask
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Laggan Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Joints and finishes in Gergask homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Highland, 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.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Around Gergask, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
