How we handle floor joint sealing in Tong
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished 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’ll sort it.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Tong need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Questions from Tong
Is Tong within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Tong in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tong 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.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Why act early in Tong
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Tong

Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar 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.
Around Tong, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
