Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Strichen
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
For a place like Strichen, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Strichen questions
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Strichen?

Is Strichen within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
What affects the quote in Strichen
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first.

Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.

What else we do in Strichen
What floor joint sealing looks like in Strichen
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as All Saints' Episcopal Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

When to call us in Strichen
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
In and around Strichen, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
