How we handle floor joint sealing in Inchree
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Typical jobs include rigid edge joints in tiled floors and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Inchree depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Inchree?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Around Inchree, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Inchree, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
FAQs for Inchree
Is floor joint sealing in Inchree guaranteed?
All our work, in Inchree and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Inchree in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Inchree is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Should I try it myself 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Inchree
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
Whether the job is in Inchree itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
