Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
About our floor joint sealing in Roxburgh
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Roxburgh. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and commercial floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Around smaller Scottish places like Roxburgh, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Roxburgh
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Roxburgh?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Around Roxburgh, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Joints and finishes in Roxburgh homes
Across the Scottish Borders, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Community buildings like Roxburgh Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Questions from Roxburgh
Is floor joint sealing in Roxburgh guaranteed?

Will you come out to Roxburgh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Roxburgh, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outdoor work around Roxburgh depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
