How we handle floor joint sealing in Strontian
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Strontian: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Strontian, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Strontian Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Strontian (Gaelic: Sron an t-Sithein) is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Strontian can book us for floor joint sealing. The work is guaranteed for a year. Strontian is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work for floor joint sealing. Glasgow is on our list too, about 76 miles from Strontian.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strontian
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Common questions in Strontian
Do you cover Strontian for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Strontian is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Strontian?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Strontian need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
