Beechmount: your questions answered
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Beechmount?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Beechmount
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors alike.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Beechmount as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Inside a flat in Beechmount, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Beechmount

Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. For landlords in Beechmount, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Floor joint sealing in Beechmount: local notes
Floors around Edinburgh 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Community buildings like Murrayfield Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Scotus Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Slateford station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
