Floor joint sealing in Torry
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. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Torry: your questions answered
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Torry?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Torry is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Torry
Floors around Aberdeen 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Torry Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Torry
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is normally better.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Torry, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
