Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Around Killen, 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 few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- You choose the colour before work begins

How we handle floor joint sealing in Killen
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 commercial floors, tiled floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Killen
Can you do floor joint sealing in Killen?
Yes, Killen is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is floor joint sealing in Killen guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

New homes and floors in Killen
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same 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.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Killen
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. Outside jobs in Killen need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Killen, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we are called out for in Killen
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For jobs in and around Killen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
