Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Sandwick
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. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Sandwick
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote

What we are called out for in Sandwick
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Community buildings like Stornoway High Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Sandwick
Will you come out to Sandwick?
Yes, Sandwick is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Sandwick in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Sandwick is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Sandwick?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Sandwick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Sandwick may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
