How we handle floor joint sealing in Tongue
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Tongue. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor edges that trap water and grime and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
For a place like Tongue, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Tongue
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
In and around Tongue, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Tongue depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Don’t paint over silicone
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Floor joint sealing around Tongue
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
