About our floor joint sealing in St Abbs
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. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right.
For a place like St Abbs, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Floor joint sealing in St Abbs: local notes
Across the Scottish Borders, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Abbs Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Reston station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

St Abbs: your questions answered
Is St Abbs in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and St Abbs is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is St Abbs within the area you cover?
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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
If you’re in St Abbs and need floor joint sealing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
