Common questions in Methlick
Do you cover Methlick for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Methlick is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Methlick?
Yes, Methlick is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Methlick?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Floor joint sealing in Methlick
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and open joints that fill with dirt.
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.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Methlick
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
For buildings such as Methlick Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. 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.

What affects the quote in Methlick
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
What we are called out for in Methlick
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Around Methlick, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Outside jobs in Methlick need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, 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.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
