How we handle floor joint sealing in Toward
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We are often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps at thresholds between rooms, across thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, 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 anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. Around Toward, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Toward: your questions answered
Do you cover Toward for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Toward is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Toward?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Joints and finishes in Toward homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Toward Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
