- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Why it’s worth doing now in Ferryhill
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience

About our floor joint sealing in Ferryhill
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In Ferryhill, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Ferryhill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

FAQs for Ferryhill
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ferryhill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ferryhill is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What affects the quote in Ferryhill
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
Joints and finishes in Ferryhill homes
Floors around Aberdeen run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ferryhill Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
