Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Newtongrange
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Newtongrange and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Newtongrange
Is Newtongrange within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Newtongrange for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Newtongrange is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Newtongrange
Floors around Midlothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same 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.
Rented homes near Newtongrange station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Newtongrange Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

When to call us in Newtongrange
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you look after a building such as Newbattle Community High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newtongrange
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In an older home around Newtongrange, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
