Floor joint sealing in Newton Village, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Common problems we fix in Newton Village
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Look out for these signs:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For buildings such as Newton Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a place like Newton Village, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Newton Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Newton Village?
Yes. Newton Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawfair station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
New homes and floors in Newton Village
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Midlothian, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Dalkeith High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Shawfair station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
