Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Floor joint sealing in Inverasdale, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Inverasdale depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. 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.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Inverasdale?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Whether the job is in Inverasdale itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Inverasdale questions
Will you come out to Inverasdale?
Yes, Inverasdale is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is floor joint sealing in Inverasdale guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Joints and finishes in Inverasdale homes
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
