Floor joint sealing in Balmedie
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include open joints that fill with dirt and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, across thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Balmedie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Why act early in Balmedie
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Balmedie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Floor joint sealing around Balmedie
Floors around Aberdeen run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Balmedie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
