Floor joint sealing in Rattar
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can help, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Rattar and everywhere else we cover.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Rattar
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Whether the job is in Rattar itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
When to call us in Rattar
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Around Rattar, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Rattar: your questions answered
Will you come out to Rattar?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Rattar?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Rattar and the rest of Highland, along with the rest of our area.

Why act early in Rattar
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely

Landlord and commercial work in Rattar
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
