Floor joint sealing in Balnagask, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you’re dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Balnagask, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Inside a flat in Balnagask, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.

Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying

For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Balnagask, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a tenement flat in Balnagask, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Floor joint sealing around Balnagask
Across Aberdeen, 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.
Schools such as Torry Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Fittick's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What’s near Balnagask

Nearby you’ll also find Tolbooth Museum (1.3 miles north-west) and Union Square Aberdeen (1.1 miles north-west). Not far away are Lower Lake and Tullos Hill.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not paint over silicone
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Questions from Balnagask
Do you cover Balnagask for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balnagask is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Balnagask?
All our work, in Balnagask and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in Balnagask
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
