Floor & skirting joints in Gremista, Shetland Islands
Problem with your floor joints in Gremista? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Gremista
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Around smaller Scottish places like Gremista, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Should I try DIY first?

Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

Floor joint sealing around Gremista
Across the Shetland Islands, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Anderson High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Gremista is about 1 mile north of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE1 area, we can carry out floor joint sealing at your property. We cover 63 towns and villages across the Shetland Islands.
All of ZE1 is within our area for floor joint sealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Gremista Road, Arlanda Yard and Holmsgarth Brae, and we cover them all. Close by, we work in Heogan (1 mile east), Lerwick (1 mile south), Sound (2 miles south), Gunnista (2 miles east) and Veensgarth (2 miles west). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a place like Gremista, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
