Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in New Aberdour
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can put it right.
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 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What else we do in New Aberdour
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in New Aberdour need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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 and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

Floor joint sealing around New Aberdour
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around New Aberdour, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in New Aberdour
Can you do floor joint sealing in New Aberdour?
Yes, New Aberdour is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is New Aberdour within the area you cover?
Yes, New Aberdour is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around New Aberdour, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in New Aberdour
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Drostan's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in New Aberdour can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
