Common problems we fix in Heriot
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For jobs in and around Heriot, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Floor joint sealing in Heriot
Across Heriot, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. If you are dealing with caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Heriot may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Heriot questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Heriot?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Heriot is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Heriot?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Joints and finishes in Heriot 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. That’s 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Heriot
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.
