What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Around Reston, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we handle floor joint sealing in Reston
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Reston is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
When to call us in Reston
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Reston Church Of Scotland, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Reston
Do you work for landlords with property near Reston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Reston within the area you cover?
Yes, Reston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Reston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across the Scottish Borders, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Reston station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.

Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a place like Reston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
