Why it’s worth doing now in Cross
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Cross, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Cross customers choose us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Cross
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Cross and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Cross questions
Do you cover smaller places like Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Cross for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Cross is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
Common problems we fix in Cross
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Scotland, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has
Joints and finishes in Cross homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Cross, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Cross depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
