Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
About our floor joint sealing in Fordoun
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Fordoun. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Work in a place like Fordoun is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
If you manage several properties in or around Fordoun, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Fordoun questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Fordoun?
Yes, Fordoun is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Laurencekirk station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Fordoun?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Why act early in Fordoun
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. 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.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

When to call us in Fordoun
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Around Fordoun, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Floor joint sealing in Fordoun: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Aberdeenshire 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.
If you let a flat or house near Laurencekirk station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
