Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Lonmore
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We’re often asked to deal with floor edges that trap water and grime and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Lonmore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Around Lonmore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

New homes and floors in Lonmore
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Lonmore, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Lonmore
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Whether the job is in Lonmore itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Common questions in Lonmore
Do you cover Lonmore for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lonmore is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is floor joint sealing in Lonmore guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
