About our floor joint sealing in Pitcaple
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
For a place like Pitcaple, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Floor joint sealing in Pitcaple: local notes
Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 Inverurie station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What else we do in Pitcaple
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Pitcaple may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pitcaple
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. In a place like Pitcaple, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Is Pitcaple in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Pitcaple 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Pitcaple
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Look out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Community buildings like Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
