How we handle floor joint sealing in Stenton
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

FAQs for Stenton
I let a flat near East Linton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Stenton?
Yes. Stenton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
When can I walk on the floor?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Stenton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Stenton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Floor joint sealing in Stenton: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around East Lothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

What else we do in Stenton
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t paint over silicone
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
