Keiss: your questions answered
Do you cover Keiss for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Keiss is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Keiss within the area you cover?
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 I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Floor joint sealing in Keiss, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and open joints that fill with dirt.
Work in a place like Keiss is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Keiss and everywhere else we cover.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.

Floor joint sealing around Keiss
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Keiss, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common problems we fix in Keiss
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
For buildings such as Church of Scotland, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why act early in Keiss
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. Around Keiss, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
