- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Floor joint sealing in Hill of Keir, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Work in a place like Hill of Keir is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

FAQs for Hill of Keir
Do you cover Hill of Keir for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hill of Keir is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Hill of Keir within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hill of Keir
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Hill of Keir, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

What else we do in Hill of Keir
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Joints and finishes in Hill of Keir homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Aberdeen, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Belhelvie North Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. In and around Hill of Keir, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hill of Keir
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outside jobs in Hill of Keir need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
