About our floor joint sealing in Loans of Tullich
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about floor edges that trap water and grime and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why it’s worth doing now in Loans of Tullich
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Loans of Tullich, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work

Floor joint sealing in Loans of Tullich: 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 do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Loans of Tullich: your questions answered
Do you cover Loans of Tullich for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Loans of Tullich is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Loans of Tullich?
Yes. Loans of Tullich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
