About our floor joint sealing in Fetterangus
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Fetterangus, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
FAQs for Fetterangus
Do you cover smaller places like Fetterangus?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is floor joint sealing in Fetterangus guaranteed?
All our work, in Fetterangus and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Common problems we fix in Fetterangus
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peterhead Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Other services in Fetterangus
Floor joint sealing around Fetterangus
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Fetterangus Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Fetterangus is about 9 miles west of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire.

What’s near Fetterangus

Why it’s worth doing now in Fetterangus
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
