How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Srath Carran may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Floor joint sealing in Srath Carran: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Highland run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
What affects the quote in Srath Carran
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
