About our floor joint sealing in Voe
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We are often asked to deal with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors.
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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Need a quote? Please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common problems we fix in Voe
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Voe Kirk, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Floor joint sealing around Voe
Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can. Across the Shetland Islands, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Voe, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
