Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing in Killochyett: local notes
Floors around the Scottish Borders run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s 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.
Around Killochyett, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Stow station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface

Killochyett questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stow station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Killochyett?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Killochyett is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Killochyett and the rest of the Scottish Borders.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
