About our floor joint sealing in Kilmuir
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about failed joint filler in concrete floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Work in a place like Kilmuir is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kilmuir as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
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.
Questions from Kilmuir
Can you do floor joint sealing in Kilmuir?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kilmuir is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Kilmuir 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.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Other services in Kilmuir
Do you need floor joint sealing in Kilmuir?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you let a flat or house near Invergordon station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floor joint sealing in Kilmuir: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Kilmuir need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
