Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Plasterfield
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 in a matching colour. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why act early in Plasterfield
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In an older home around Plasterfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

- 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 smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Floor joint sealing around Plasterfield
Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Plasterfield, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Plasterfield questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Plasterfield?
All our work, in Plasterfield and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Plasterfield for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Plasterfield is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
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 cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Plasterfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Plasterfield, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Plasterfield
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Stornoway High Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
