About our floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Maryculter
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Landlord and commercial work in Kirkton of Maryculter
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a place like Kirkton of Maryculter, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Common questions in Kirkton of Maryculter
I let a flat near Portlethen station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Kirkton of Maryculter within the area you cover?
Yes. Kirkton of Maryculter 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.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Common problems we fix in Kirkton of Maryculter
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For landlords with property near Portlethen station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Joints and finishes in Kirkton of Maryculter 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.
For buildings such as Maryculter Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as International School of Aberdeen, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
