Floor joint sealing in Addiebrownhill
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you are dealing with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can help.
For a place like Addiebrownhill, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Addiebrownhill: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Addiebrownhill?
Yes. Addiebrownhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Addiewell station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
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.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Outdoor work around Addiebrownhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

New homes and floors in Addiebrownhill
Across West 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Letting a property close to Addiewell station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What else we do in Addiebrownhill
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
