Floor joint sealing in Hatton of Fintray
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We are often asked to deal with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Common questions in Hatton of Fintray
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
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.
Is Hatton of Fintray in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Hatton of Fintray is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so there’s no guesswork.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outside jobs in Hatton of Fintray need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
New homes and floors in Hatton of Fintray
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Aberdeen run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
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 tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
What else we do in Hatton of Fintray
What sealant work can’t fix

- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
