Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lower Gledfield
Will you come out to Lower Gledfield?
Yes. Lower Gledfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Lower Gledfield in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lower Gledfield is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Lower Gledfield
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and concrete floor joints that have broken down, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Lower Gledfield
Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Lower Gledfield, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Lower Gledfield
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
If you let a flat or house near Ardgay station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Lower Gledfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
