When to call us in Lochmaddy
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Look out for these signs:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Whether the job is in Lochmaddy itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
Floor joint sealing in Lochmaddy
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Lochmaddy. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have open joints that fill with dirt and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Joints and finishes in Lochmaddy homes
Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Lochmaddy, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Lochmaddy
Is Lochmaddy in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lochmaddy is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Lochmaddy?
All our work, in Lochmaddy and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Around Lochmaddy, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Landlord and commercial work in Lochmaddy
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
