How we handle floor joint sealing in Kingussie

Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards alike.

Work in a place like Kingussie is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.

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

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
  • Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
  • Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
  • Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up

Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.

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.

Why deal with it now?

Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Surface by surface

Commercial floors

In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.

Tiled floors

Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.

Kingussie: your questions answered

Will you come out to Kingussie?

Yes. Kingussie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Is Kingussie in your area for floor joint sealing?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kingussie is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.

What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?

Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.

Do you work on commercial floors?

Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.

Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?

Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.

Is it messy?

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.

How to choose a mastic man

What floor joint sealing looks like in Kingussie

Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

In and around Kingussie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
