How we handle floor joint sealing in Ollaberry
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
For a place like Ollaberry, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Ollaberry: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Ollaberry?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Ollaberry for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Ollaberry is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Around Ollaberry, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What happens if it’s left?
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. In a place like Ollaberry, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Ollaberry
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ollaberry Church and Churchyard with Monument, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
