About our floor joint sealing in West End
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
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, in West End as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In West End, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Floor joint sealing in West End: local notes
Floors around Aberdeen run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a building such as Albyn School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
West End is about 1 mile south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Jobs in West End get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Across Aberdeen, we cover 63 places, West End among them.

Common problems we fix in West End
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Community buildings like Mannofield Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
FAQs for West End
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in West End?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in West End?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
