How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Upper Kilchattan 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Floor joint sealing in Upper Kilchattan
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Work in a place like Upper Kilchattan is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Around Upper Kilchattan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Upper Kilchattan
Is Upper Kilchattan within the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Kilchattan is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Upper Kilchattan?
Yes, Upper Kilchattan is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Upper Kilchattan
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like St Cathan's Chapel are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. In and around Upper Kilchattan, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
