How we handle floor joint sealing in Minard
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you’re dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Minard
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Argyll and Bute run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Minard, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Minard, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Minard depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In an older home around Minard, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
