Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Floor joint sealing in Lochawe
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Work in a place like Lochawe is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
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
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Lochawe
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Look out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lochawe
I let a flat near Loch Awe station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Lochawe in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lochawe is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
The process

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochawe
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Lochawe
Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as St Conan’s Kirk, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
