What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Lìonal may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

About our floor joint sealing in Lìonal
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and tiled floors alike.
For a place like Lìonal, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Lìonal questions
Is floor joint sealing in Lìonal guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Lìonal in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Lìonal is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
New homes and floors in Lìonal
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Lìonal
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a building such as Lionel School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

- Who turns up on the day

Why act early in Lìonal
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
