About our floor joint sealing in Portessie
Across Portessie, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Portessie, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Floor joint sealing around Portessie
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Moray, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Buckie High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

FAQs for Portessie
Is Portessie in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Portessie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Portessie guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Usually, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Portessie?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
