Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Haddington
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have skirting that has pulled away from the floor and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right.
Commercial units and shops in a town like Haddington have floors with joints that need resealing as they wear. Sealing them before the edges break up saves a bigger repair.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a Scottish town like Haddington, parking is usually straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Haddington: local notes
Across East Lothian, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For landlords with property near Drem station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Knox Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we’re called out for in Haddington
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as West Parish Kirk and Tower, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
Haddington: your questions answered
Is Haddington in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Haddington is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Drem station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
