Floor joint sealing in Shulishader, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints that fill with dirt.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Shulishader, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

When to call us in Shulishader
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aird Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Questions from Shulishader
Is Shulishader within the area you cover?
Yes. Shulishader is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is floor joint sealing in Shulishader guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Shulishader
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Shulishader, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Shulishader is about 7 miles east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Jobs in Shulishader get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 87 places across Na h-Eileanan Siar, from the larger towns to small villages.
Every address in HS2 is covered for floor joint sealing. We also cover Sulaisiadar (1 mile south-west), Aird (1 mile east), Garrabost (1 mile south-west), Portvoller (2 miles north-east) and Pabail Uarach (2 miles south). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: 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. For a place like Shulishader, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
