About our floor joint sealing in Elgin

Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are failed joint filler in concrete floors and tiled floors with no room to move.

In a town like Elgin, older streets sit alongside newer estates. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing.

All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Large cracks that need a surveyor
  • Leaks from a failed tanking system
  • Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work in Elgin

  • Concrete floor joints
  • Tiled floors
  • Thresholds
  • Commercial floors
  • Wet room & bathroom floors
  • Skirting boards

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Ask before painting over a sealed joint
  • Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
  • Use furniture pads near skirting
  • Sweep along the edges of the floor

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.

A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.

How the visit works

Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a job in Elgin, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.

  1. The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
  2. Old material is removed from the joint.
  3. Edges are cleaned and dried.
  4. We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
  5. Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

Floor joint sealing around Elgin

Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Moray, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

Community buildings like St Columba's Church of Scotland are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Elgin station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Elgin High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What the job involves on each surface

Thresholds

Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.

Concrete floor joints

Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.

What does floor joint sealing cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.

What sealant do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

How long before the joint can take traffic?

It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

How we quote for floor joint sealing

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Access and height
  • The type of sealant required
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The size of the job

What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.

Why deal with it now?

Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Private landlords in a town like Elgin must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Sorting failed joints early is easier than dealing with a tenant’s complaint.

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why us?

  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
  • ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
