About our floor joint sealing in Sauchieburn
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sauchieburn as everywhere else we work.

Joints and finishes in Sauchieburn homes
Floors around Aberdeenshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For landlords with property near Laurencekirk station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Luthermuir Chapel, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Sauchieburn questions
Do you cover smaller places like Sauchieburn?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Sauchieburn in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Sauchieburn is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole 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?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Sauchieburn, distance and access matter more than parking. 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.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

What affects the quote in Sauchieburn
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
