Floor joint sealing in Invermoriston
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Around Invermoriston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
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.
New homes and floors in Invermoriston
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Invermoriston, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Invermoriston
Invermoriston: your questions answered
Will you come out to Invermoriston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Invermoriston?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Invermoriston is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.

What we’re called out for in Invermoriston
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Scotland, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- What the cure time is
