About our floor joint sealing in Hilton
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are gaps at thresholds between rooms and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Hilton
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Hilton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Hilton questions
Is Hilton within the area you cover?
Yes. Hilton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hilton?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hilton is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

When to call us in Hilton
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Schools such as Inshes Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Floor joint sealing around Hilton
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Letting a property close to Inverness station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
