Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Kincorth
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Kincorth. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open joints that fill with dirt.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Kincorth as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for Kincorth
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Kincorth in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kincorth is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can I do 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.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Common problems we fix in Kincorth
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Community buildings like Ruthrieston South Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
