Floor joint sealing in Lochmaben, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and worn sealant at door thresholds, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Questions from Lochmaben
Will you come out to Lochmaben?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lockerbie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Lochmaben?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Lochmaben, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Lochmaben customers choose us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Joints and finishes in Lochmaben homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Dumfries and Galloway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
In and around Lochmaben, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a place like Lochmaben, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What affects the quote in Lochmaben
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Lochmaben?

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
For landlords with property near Lockerbie station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
