Work in a place like Earlston is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Earlston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Earlston
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 behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What else we do in Earlston
What floor joint sealing looks like in Earlston
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. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Earlston Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Earlston High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Tweedbank station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
