How we handle floor joint sealing in Hoswick
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. If you are dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Outdoor work around Hoswick depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Hoswick: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Hoswick?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Hoswick?
Yes, Hoswick is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hoswick
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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 Hoswick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hoswick?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
In and around Hoswick, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
