Lochboisdale: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lochboisdale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Lochboisdale for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lochboisdale is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Floor joint sealing in Lochboisdale
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. If you are dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Lochboisdale
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Around Lochboisdale, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Whether the job is in Lochboisdale itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why act early in Lochboisdale
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Lochboisdale, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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 make a difference.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
