Joints and finishes in Humbie homes
Across East Lothian, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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.
In and around Humbie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For buildings such as Humbie Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

About our floor joint sealing in Humbie
Across Humbie, 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. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and open joints that fill with dirt.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Humbie and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Humbie
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

What does floor joint sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
