FAQs for Tweedbank
Do you cover Tweedbank for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tweedbank is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is Tweedbank within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Floor joint sealing in Tweedbank
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 and stops dirt collecting. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Tweedbank, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tweedbank as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Tweedbank
Floors around the Scottish Borders run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Rented homes near Tweedbank station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
When to call us in Tweedbank
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
The most common problems we see are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open joints that fill with dirt
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Galashiels Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
