What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
About our floor joint sealing in Wick
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Wick. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. Typical jobs include grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Around smaller Scottish places like Wick, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wick as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Wick?
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wick High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Floor joint sealing in Wick: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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 they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Wick station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Landmarks near Wick

Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. In an older home around Wick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
