Joints and finishes in Kildary 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.
If you let a flat or house near Fearn station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floor joint sealing in Kildary, done properly
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can help, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kildary, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kildary
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What else we do in Kildary
Why it’s worth doing now in Kildary
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a place like Kildary, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Around Kildary, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Kildary
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Community buildings like Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Kildary: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Kildary?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kildary is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Kildary within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
