Floor Joint Sealing in Lochhill

Floor joint sealing in Lochhill
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outside jobs in Lochhill need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Lochhill
Is Lochhill in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lochhill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Joints and finishes in Lochhill homes
Floors around Moray run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For landlords with property near Elgin station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

When to call us in Lochhill
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Urquhart Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
