How we handle floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Craig
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Kirkton of Craig and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What else we do in Kirkton of Craig
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Kirkton of Craig and across Aberdeenshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Kirkton of Craig 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
New homes and floors in Kirkton of Craig
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 do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Montrose station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What we’re called out for in Kirkton of Craig
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Montrose Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Questions from Kirkton of Craig
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Montrose 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 work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Kirkton of Craig?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Kirkton of Craig, along with the rest of our area.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
