Lochcarron Floor Joint Sealing
Floor joint sealing across Lochcarron and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Lochcarron need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How we handle floor joint sealing in Lochcarron
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and tiled floors with no room to move, across concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds.
Around smaller Scottish places like Lochcarron, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Lochcarron
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For landlords with property near Attadale station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Lochcarron School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Common problems we fix in Lochcarron
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Keep an eye out for these signs:

Lochcarron: your questions answered
Is Lochcarron within the area you cover?
Yes, Lochcarron is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Attadale station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
