Problem with your floor joints in Grantshouse? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

Floor joint sealing in Grantshouse, done properly
Across Grantshouse, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have floor edges that trap water and grime and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Grantshouse, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Grantshouse depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What we’re called out for in Grantshouse
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
For buildings such as Grantshouse Church (Church Of Scotland), joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Grantshouse questions
Is Grantshouse in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Grantshouse is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Joints and finishes in Grantshouse homes
Floors around the Scottish Borders run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Letting a property close to Reston station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
