Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Inveresk
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, on skirting boards, thresholds and tiled floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

New homes and floors in Inveresk
Floors around East Lothian 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.
For buildings such as St Michael’s Kirk, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Musselburgh station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Questions from Inveresk
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Musselburgh station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Inveresk in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Inveresk is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inveresk
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Inveresk, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job.

- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Inveresk
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Schools such as Loretto School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
