Trusted floor joint sealing in Potterton

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Potterton, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Floor joint sealing in Potterton

Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We’re often asked to deal with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds.

New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Potterton?

Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
  • Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
  • Failed joint filler in concrete floors
  • Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout

If you let a flat or house near Dyce station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee
  • How long to leave it before use
  • How the colour is chosen
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint

How to choose a mastic man

Floor joint sealing around Potterton

Across Aberdeen, 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. 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.

In and around Potterton, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Potterton: your questions answered

Is Potterton in your area for floor joint sealing?

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Potterton is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

Do you work for landlords with property near Dyce station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

How long will you be here?

A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will confirm how long when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?

Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.

What does floor joint sealing cost?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.

Do you use a paintable sealant?

If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Cracked or broken concrete slabs
  • Movement too big for a sealant joint
  • Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Skirting boards
  • Commercial floors
  • Concrete floor joints
  • Thresholds
  • Wet room & bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors

Keeping the joints in good condition

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
  • Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
  • Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
  • Keep caulk for dry, still joints only

Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.

Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.

Surface by surface

Tiled floors

When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.

Commercial floors

Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.

What we do, step by step

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Potterton may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
  2. Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
  3. The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
  4. A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. 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
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Clear the area around the work
