Joints and finishes in Crathes homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Aberdeenshire, 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.
For jobs in and around Crathes, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Crathes, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Crathes is about 13 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Crathes gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 161 towns and villages across Aberdeenshire. Aberdeen is on our list too, about 13 miles from Crathes.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Crathes
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Around smaller Scottish places like Crathes, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common questions in Crathes
Can you do floor joint sealing in Crathes?
Yes, Crathes is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Crathes guaranteed?
All our work, in Crathes and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Crathes may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What else we do in Crathes
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crathes
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
