Strome Ferry: your questions answered
Will you come out to Strome Ferry?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Strome Ferry?
Yes, Strome Ferry is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Floor joint sealing in Strome Ferry, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In an older home around Strome Ferry, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Joints and finishes in Strome Ferry homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Highland, 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.
For buildings such as Church Of Scotland, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Stromeferry station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

What else we do in Strome Ferry
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
