What we are called out for in Braeside
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
The most common problems we see are:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

About our floor joint sealing in Braeside
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and tiled floors with no room to move.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Braeside, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Braeside: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Braeside?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Braeside?
Yes, Braeside is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Braeside?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Why act early in Braeside
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 for most homes. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Braeside, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Braeside
Across Aberdeen, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same 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.
If you look after a building such as Airyhall Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Mannofield Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a tenement in Braeside, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit

- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
