About our floor joint sealing in Scalasaig
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors

What affects the quote in Scalasaig
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Joints and finishes in Scalasaig homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around Scalasaig, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface

Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Scalasaig?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Scalasaig Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Scalasaig
Is floor joint sealing in Scalasaig guaranteed?
All our work, in Scalasaig and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Scalasaig?
Yes, Scalasaig is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
