Luthermuir questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Luthermuir?
Yes, Luthermuir is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Laurencekirk station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Floor joint sealing in Luthermuir, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. If you’re dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally 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 early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Luthermuir
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For buildings such as Luthermuir Chapel, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. Outdoor work around Luthermuir depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

New homes and floors in Luthermuir
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 is 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.
Rented homes near Laurencekirk station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Luthermuir is about 7 miles north-west of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. Luthermuir gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Luthermuir is one of 161 places in Aberdeenshire where we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Luthermuir
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
