How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Midstocket
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open joints around bathroom floor edges, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
FAQs for Midstocket
Is Midstocket within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. 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.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Midstocket
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Midstocket
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Ninian's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

- Skirting boards
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Joints and finishes in Midstocket homes
Floors around Aberdeen run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Oakbank School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
