Floor joint sealing in Kilmuir, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Work in a place like Kilmuir is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Kilmuir
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Look out for any of the following:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Whether the job is in Kilmuir itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.

New homes and floors in Kilmuir
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Kilmuir, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
