How we handle floor joint sealing in Kilmaluag
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. Common call-outs are for skirting caulk that keeps splitting and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, across tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards.
For a place like Kilmaluag, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common problems we fix in Kilmaluag
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Whether the job is in Kilmaluag itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Kilmaluag
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Kilmaluag?
All our work, in Kilmaluag and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Kilmaluag?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Joints and finishes in Kilmaluag homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Kilmaluag, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Kilmaluag is in Highland. Jobs in Kilmaluag get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, Kilmaluag among them.

Neighbouring places we cover for floor joint sealing include Staffin (5 miles south-east), Uig (7 miles south-west), Clachamish (13 miles south), An t-Aodann Ban (15 miles south) and Portree (19 miles south).

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Kilmaluag may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Kilmaluag, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
