Floor Joint Sealing in Tarland
Our applicators work in Tarland on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
About our floor joint sealing in Tarland
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open joints that fill with dirt.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Tarland
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Around Tarland, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New homes and floors in Tarland
Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For buildings such as Tarland Old Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Tarland is about 21 miles south-west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. From the centre of Tarland to the outskirts, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Questions from Tarland
Is Tarland in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tarland is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Tarland within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Tarland
- Thresholds

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
