About our floor joint sealing in St Katherines
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Floor joint sealing in St Katherines: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Aberdeenshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around St Katherines, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in St Katherines itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Other services in St Katherines
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in St Katherines
Can you do floor joint sealing in St Katherines?
Yes, St Katherines is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in St Katherines?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
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.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
