Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Keills
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. We are often asked to deal with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors.
Work in a place like Keills is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keills questions
Will you come out to Keills?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is floor joint sealing in Keills guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
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 for most homes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Colour picked to suit the job

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Common problems we fix in Keills
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
In and around Keills, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Keills 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.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

Floor joint sealing in Keills: local notes
Across Argyll and Bute, 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 is 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.
Whether the job is in Keills itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
