About our floor joint sealing in D'Arcy
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include failed joint filler in concrete floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, across thresholds, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Work in a place like D'Arcy is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

New homes and floors in D'Arcy
Across Midlothian, 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.
If you look after a building such as Newbattle Community High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
D'Arcy: your questions answered
Is D'Arcy within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newtongrange station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in D'Arcy
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Letting a property close to Newtongrange station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Also in D'Arcy
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Around D'Arcy, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
