What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Floor joint sealing in Lochluichart
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Lochluichart. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Lochluichart
Is Lochluichart within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. 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.
Do you cover Lochluichart for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lochluichart is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
When to call us in Lochluichart
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For landlords with property near Lochluichart station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Large cracks that need a surveyor

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Lochluichart, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Joints and finishes in Lochluichart homes
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 is 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.
Community buildings like Lochluichart Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Lochluichart need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
