How we handle floor joint sealing in Portnahaven
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Work in a place like Portnahaven is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

New homes and floors in Portnahaven
Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s 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.
Around Portnahaven, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Portnahaven (Gaelic: Port na h-Abhainne) is in Argyll and Bute. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Portnahaven is covered for floor joint sealing, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Argyll and Bute coverage runs to 118 places, Portnahaven among them.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portnahaven
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Portnahaven
Is floor joint sealing in Portnahaven guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Portnahaven for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Portnahaven 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 will send you a clear quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Portnahaven
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Portnahaven, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What we’re called out for in Portnahaven
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Portnahaven Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
