The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Portsoy may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Floor joint sealing in Portsoy
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Portsoy
Floors around Aberdeenshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John's Episcopal Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. In and around Portsoy, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Well-known places in the area include Boyne Castle (1.5 miles east) and Campbell Hospital (within half a mile west). Not far away are Durn Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
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. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
