Floor joint sealing in Hamnavoe, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and floor edges that trap water and grime, on tiled floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Common questions in Hamnavoe
Is floor joint sealing in Hamnavoe guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Hamnavoe in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Hamnavoe is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. 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.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- 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 and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

What floor joint sealing looks like in Hamnavoe
Across the Shetland Islands, 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Whether the job is in Hamnavoe itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Hamnavoe, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Hamnavoe is in the Shetland Islands. Hamnavoe gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Hamnavoe is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands where we work.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
