Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. In a place like Salen, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We never seal over old sealant

Floor joint sealing in Salen, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, across thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
FAQs for Salen
Will you come out to Salen?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole 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 Salen?
All our work, in Salen and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

Common problems we fix in Salen
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For jobs in and around Salen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Around Salen, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Salen, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
New homes and floors in Salen
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Salen, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
