Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Scatness
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Scatness is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Scatness
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Tiled floors

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
New homes and floors in Scatness
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Scatness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Scatness: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Scatness?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Scatness in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Scatness 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, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Scatness?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Scatness
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In an older home around Scatness, damp from a failed joint can get 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 give you a clear quote before we start.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
