Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Gretna Green
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Gretna Green
Floors around Dumfries and Galloway 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old Church and Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Landlord and commercial work in Gretna Green
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Gretna Green may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
