About our floor joint sealing in Wilton Dean
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. Common call-outs are for floor edges that trap water and grime and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wilton Dean as everywhere else we work.

Floor joint sealing around Wilton Dean
Across the Scottish Borders, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as Old Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Wilton Dean
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you look after a building such as Hawick High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Wilton Dean.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Wilton Dean, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do.

- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
