Need floor joint sealing in Kincraig?

How the job changes by surface

Commercial floors

Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

Thresholds

Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

Floor joint sealing in Kincraig, done properly

Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We are often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds.

Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
  • Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
  • Sweep along the edges of the floor
  • Check skirting joints after the heating season

In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.

A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
  • Bouncy or failing floorboards
  • Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing

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.

Kincraig: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Kincraig?

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 do floor joint sealing in Kincraig?

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kincraig is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

Where are you based?

We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

What does floor joint sealing cost?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?

Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Kincraig

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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

Around Kincraig, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Kincraig?

Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Floor edges that trap water and grime
  • Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
  • Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
  • Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Insh Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to choose a mastic man

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • The amount of work
  • How many areas need sealing

The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • The problem you’ve noticed

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

What happens on the day

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. 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.

  1. We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
  2. We remove what’s in the joint now.
  3. We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
  4. We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
  5. We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
