What affects the quote in Potarch
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
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.
Potarch: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Potarch guaranteed?
All our work, in Potarch and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Potarch for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Potarch is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Why act early in Potarch
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Around Potarch, 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Potarch
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
For jobs in and around Potarch, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Potarch need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing around Potarch

That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
