Floor joint sealing in Dalkeith
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Scottish towns like Dalkeith have older streets and newer estates, with new homes still being built in many. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlord and commercial work in Dalkeith
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Dalkeith, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Tidy, careful work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- One-year guarantee on every job

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. Parking around Dalkeith is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Joints and finishes in Dalkeith homes
Floors around Midlothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Rented homes near Eskbank station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Dalkeith High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as East Kirk, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.

That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
