The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Outside jobs in Footdee need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Footdee
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
When to call us in Footdee
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Community buildings like St Fittick's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Joints and finishes in Footdee homes
Floors around Aberdeen run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Torry Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
