Floor & skirting joints in Kyle of Lochalsh, Highland

What we’re called out for in Kyle of Lochalsh
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a building such as Lochalsh School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Kyle of Lochalsh
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on tiled floors, commercial floors and thresholds.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. In an older home around Kyle of Lochalsh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Floor joint sealing around Kyle of Lochalsh
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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 don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Kyle of Lochalsh depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
