- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Floor joint sealing in Dolphinton, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Work in a place like Dolphinton is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dolphinton
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Dolphinton
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
In and around Dolphinton, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Community buildings like Dolphinton Parish Church And Churchyard are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
