DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Auchnagatt
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Auchnagatt?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Around Auchnagatt, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Auchnagatt
Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Savoch Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Auchnagatt questions
Is Auchnagatt in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Auchnagatt is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Auchnagatt?
Yes, Auchnagatt is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.

Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
Why act early in Auchnagatt
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. In an older home around Auchnagatt, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- We are fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We agree the colour with you first
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
