Whiterow Floor Joint Sealing
We cover Whiterow for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Floor joint sealing in Whiterow, done properly
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Whiterow and across Highland.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiterow
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Whiterow need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
FAQs for Whiterow
Is Whiterow within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wick station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Whiterow?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
What else we do in Whiterow
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Floor joint sealing in Whiterow: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Pulteneytown Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Wick station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wick High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Whiterow is about 19 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW1, we cover floor joint sealing for homes and businesses. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.
Every address in KW1 is within our area for floor joint sealing. We also cover Wick (1 mile north), Haster (3 miles north-west), Staxigoe (3 miles north-east), Thrumster (3 miles south-west) and Ackergillshore (3 miles north).

Local landmarks in Whiterow
We work in homes and buildings around Bignold Park. The nearest railway station is Wick station, roughly 1.2 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Wick Heritage Museum (1.2 miles north) and Castle of Old Wick (0.6 miles east). For a walk, there’s Loch Hempriggs.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Whiterow, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- You choose the colour before work begins
