Floor joint sealing in Hawick
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right.
Commercial units and shops in a town like Hawick have floors with joints that need resealing as they wear. Sealing them before the edges break up saves a bigger repair.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Hawick and across the Scottish Borders.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. In flats with a shared stair in Hawick, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, which turns a small job into a bigger one.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. A visit in Hawick needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Floor joint sealing in Hawick: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Hawick High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hawick?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Around Hawick, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors

Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
Common questions in Hawick
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Hawick?
All our work, in Hawick and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Hawick for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Hawick is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
