Kelton Hill questions
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Kelton Hill?
All our work, in Kelton Hill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Kelton Hill for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kelton Hill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
Floor joint sealing in Kelton Hill, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice because it handles water. If you have open joints that fill with dirt and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kelton Hill and across Dumfries and Galloway.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outside jobs in Kelton Hill need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Kelton Hill can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Kelton Hill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Tidy, careful work
- We’re fully insured

Joints and finishes in Kelton Hill homes
Across Dumfries and Galloway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Community buildings like Parish Church and Burial-Ground are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. In and around Kelton Hill, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
