Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. In an older home around Kirkton of Durris, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Durris
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Kirkton of Durris
Do you cover smaller places like Kirkton of Durris?
Yes. Kirkton of Durris is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Kirkton of Durris for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kirkton of Durris is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Kirkton of Durris, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- 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.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
In and around Kirkton of Durris, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Floor joint sealing around Kirkton of Durris
Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Community buildings like St Comgall's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
