Floor joint sealing in Towie, done properly
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for tiled floors with no room to move and floor edges that trap water and grime, on thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Work in a place like Towie is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Towie
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Towie?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Towie?
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.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What we’re called out for in Towie
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Look out for any of the following:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Towie Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Towie
Across Aberdeenshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Towie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Towie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
