How we handle floor joint sealing in Innerleithen
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We are often asked to deal with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
For a place like Innerleithen, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Innerleithen?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Community buildings like Innerleithen Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Floor joint sealing around Innerleithen
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across the Scottish Borders, 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.
In and around Innerleithen, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. In a place like Innerleithen, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the tidy-up. Around Innerleithen, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
What affects the quote in Innerleithen
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
