Floor joint sealing in Wallyford, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Wallyford
I let a flat near Wallyford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wallyford?
Yes, Wallyford is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Floor joint sealing in Wallyford: local notes
Across East Lothian, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Managing a site like Loretto School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Wallyford
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
If you let a flat or house near Wallyford station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Landlord and commercial work in Wallyford
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. We fit backing where needed.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a place like Wallyford, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
