About our floor joint sealing in Burnmouth
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Work in a place like Burnmouth is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Burnmouth and everywhere else we cover.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Burnmouth depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Burnmouth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What floor joint sealing looks like in Burnmouth
Floors around the Scottish Borders 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Burnmouth, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Reston station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
