Floor joint sealing in Rathven, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, across tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Rathven and across Moray. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Floor joint sealing around Rathven
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, 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 they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Common problems we fix in Rathven
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Community buildings like St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Rathven may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Yes. Rathven is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?

Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
