Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Floor joint sealing in Portvoller
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you are dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Portvoller, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Portvoller and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Portvoller
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Joints and finishes in Portvoller homes
Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aird Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. In and around Portvoller, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Portvoller
Is floor joint sealing in Portvoller guaranteed?
All our work, in Portvoller and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Portvoller in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Portvoller is within the area we cover. We work across all 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.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
