About our floor joint sealing in Aberlour
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are threshold joints that have opened or worn and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Around Aberlour, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

Questions from Aberlour
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Aberlour?
All our work, in Aberlour and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Aberlour?
Yes, Aberlour is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
New homes and floors in Aberlour
Floors around Moray run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Aberlour, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Aberlour
When to call us in Aberlour
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Margaret's Episcopal Church and Burial Ground, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
