How we handle floor joint sealing in Laggan
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include skirting caulk that keeps splitting and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across commercial floors, thresholds and skirting boards.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Floor joint sealing in Laggan: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around Laggan, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Laggan?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Community buildings like Laggan Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What affects the quote in Laggan
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Do you cover Laggan for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Laggan is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Laggan?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
