Questions from Lochdon
Is Lochdon in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lochdon is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Lochdon guaranteed?
All our work, in Lochdon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Lochdon
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Typical jobs include failed joint filler in concrete floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across skirting boards, thresholds and commercial floors.
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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochdon
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Around Lochdon, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Need a quote? Please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Lochdon, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Lochdon: local notes
Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Lochdon itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Lochdon, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
