- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Floor joint sealing in Bonnyrigg
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Bonnyrigg. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. Typical jobs include cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
A lot of new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and they settle in their first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up in the first year or two.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In flats with a shared stair in Bonnyrigg, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, which turns a small job into a bigger one.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Bonnyrigg
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Midlothian, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Eskbank station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Bonnyrigg Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What the job involves on each surface

Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.

Bonnyrigg: your questions answered
Is Bonnyrigg in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Bonnyrigg is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Bonnyrigg?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When to call us in Bonnyrigg
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Managing a site like Lasswade High School Centre? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
