Floor joint sealing in Kyleakin
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Kyleakin. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
For a place like Kyleakin, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not paint over silicone
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. In a place like Kyleakin, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Kyleakin
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Rented homes near Kyle of Lochalsh station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Kyleakin questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Kyleakin?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kyleakin is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Kyle of Lochalsh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
