How we handle floor joint sealing in Grimsay
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Grimsay. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Work in a place like Grimsay is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Grimsay
Is floor joint sealing in Grimsay guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Grimsay?
Yes. Grimsay 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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

What else we do in Grimsay
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Whether the job is in Grimsay itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Grimsay, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
