DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing in Mayfield, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Mayfield
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Letting a property close to Newtongrange station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Questions from Mayfield
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newtongrange station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Mayfield?
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.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, 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.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Mayfield need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Why act early in Mayfield
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

New homes and floors in Mayfield
Across Midlothian, 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Newbattle Community High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
