How we handle floor joint sealing in Cardrona Village
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Cardrona Village 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 clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

New homes and floors in Cardrona Village
Across the Scottish Borders, 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.
Community buildings like William Cree Memorial Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Around Cardrona Village, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cardrona Village
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges. Around Cardrona Village, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced and customer reviews.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Cardrona Village
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
