Floor joint sealing in Templand
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Work in a place like Templand is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
Why it’s worth doing now in Templand
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Floor joint sealing in Templand: local notes
Floors around Dumfries and Galloway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Templand, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Templand is about 9 miles north-east of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway. From the centre of Templand to the outskirts, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike. We cover 138 towns and villages across Dumfries and Galloway. You can also see our page for Edinburgh, roughly 55 miles from Templand.
Every address in DG11 is covered for floor joint sealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Common problems we fix in Templand
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Rented homes near Lockerbie station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
