Mid Yell Floor Joint Sealing
Floor joint sealing across Mid Yell and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere like Mid Yell 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Mid Yell
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. Typical jobs include tiled floors with no room to move and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Mid Yell
Can you do floor joint sealing in Mid Yell?
Yes, Mid Yell is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Mid Yell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Floor joint sealing around Mid Yell
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Floors around the Shetland Islands run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John's Church And Churchyard, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Mid Yell Junior High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

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.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Mid Yell
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Mid Yell, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
