What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Kirkton of Tough depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Tough?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Tough Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkton of Tough
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We never seal over old sealant
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Common questions in Kirkton of Tough
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Kirkton of Tough?
All our work, in Kirkton of Tough and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Kirkton of Tough for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kirkton of Tough is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Kirkton of Tough
Floors around Aberdeenshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Kirkton of Tough, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
