Specialist floor joint sealing for The Rigg: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Floor joint sealing in The Rigg, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
For a place like The Rigg, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. Somewhere like The Rigg may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Landlord and commercial work in The Rigg
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
If you manage several properties in or around The Rigg, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Why act early in The Rigg
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In an older home around The Rigg, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
Take a look at what affects the cost and our reviews.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Floor joint sealing around The Rigg
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across East Ayrshire, 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Auchinleck station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as Barony Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Burns Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Common questions in The Rigg
Is The Rigg in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, The Rigg is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to The Rigg?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
