Floor joint sealing in Muir of Ord
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Muir of Ord. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. Typical jobs include gaps opening between the floor and skirting and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across tiled floors, thresholds 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Muir of Ord and everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In an older home around Muir of Ord, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Questions from Muir of Ord
Will you come out to Muir of Ord?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Muir of Ord station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Muir of Ord, along with the rest of our area.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What we are called out for in Muir of Ord
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.

- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
For landlords with property near Muir of Ord station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New homes and floors in Muir of Ord
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Gilchrist are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
