How we handle floor joint sealing in Gott
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Gott. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. Common call-outs are for concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, across skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors.
For a place like Gott, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Gott, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Old sealant always removed completely
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Gott may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Floor joint sealing around Gott
Floors around the Shetland Islands run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For jobs in and around Gott, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Gott, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Gott
Do you cover smaller places like Gott?
Yes. Gott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is floor joint sealing in Gott guaranteed?
All our work, in Gott and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
