What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
About our floor joint sealing in Dornock
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about gaps at thresholds between rooms and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
For a place like Dornock, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we are called out for in Dornock
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Rented homes near Annan station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Dornock
Across Dumfries and Galloway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Community buildings like Dornock Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Annan Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Questions from Dornock
Do you work for landlords with property near Annan station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a place like Dornock, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
