How we handle floor joint sealing in Newhills
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, on thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Newhills and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Newhills
I let a flat near Dyce station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Newhills within the area you cover?
Yes. Newhills is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
New homes and floors in Newhills
Floors around Aberdeen 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Community buildings like Old Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Bucksburn Academy are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Newhills
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. In an older home around Newhills, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
What affects the quote in Newhills
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you are in Newhills and need floor joint sealing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Outside jobs in Newhills 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 start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
