How we handle floor joint sealing in Sprouston
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Sprouston, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.

What affects the quote in Sprouston
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we are called out for in Sprouston
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Schools such as Kelso High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
What else we do in Sprouston
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Floor joint sealing in Sprouston: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Sprouston Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Advice
FAQs for Sprouston

Do you cover Sprouston for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Sprouston is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.

A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
