Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Glengolly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. If you are dealing with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Glengolly, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Around Glengolly, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
When to call us in Glengolly
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
If you look after a building such as Thurso High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
What else we do in Glengolly
Why it’s worth doing now in Glengolly
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why Glengolly clients choose us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Glengolly
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Where the job is, and your postcode

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
New homes and floors in Glengolly
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Thurso station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Questions from Glengolly
Is Glengolly in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Glengolly is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Glengolly?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
