Floor joint sealing around Midland
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Midland, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Midland
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Typical jobs include open joints that fill with dirt and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Work in a place like Midland is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

What affects the quote in Midland
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Common questions in Midland
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Midland?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Midland in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Midland is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a place like Midland, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Midland
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
For buildings such as Round Kirk, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
