New homes and floors in Cove Bay
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
If you look after a building such as Lochside Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as St Mary's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Floor joint sealing in Cove Bay
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are gaps at thresholds between rooms and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Cove Bay, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Cove Bay, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why it’s worth doing now in Cove Bay
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a tenement flat in Cove Bay, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Landlord and commercial work in Cove Bay
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Cove Bay and across Aberdeen. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
FAQs for Cove Bay
Do you cover Cove Bay for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cove Bay is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
