How we handle floor joint sealing in Arbuthnott
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Around smaller Scottish places like Arbuthnott, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Arbuthnott: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Arbuthnott?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Arbuthnott for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Arbuthnott is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Arbuthnott?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

New homes and floors in Arbuthnott
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Aberdeenshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Arbuthnott Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Arbuthnott?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Look out for these signs:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Around Arbuthnott, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
