Your questions about floor joint sealing in Blackhall
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Blackhall?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Blackhall?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Floor joint sealing in Blackhall, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. If you’re dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can help.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Blackhall, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Blackhall
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Inside a flat in Blackhall, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Floor joint sealing in Blackhall: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like St Columba's Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as The Mary Erskine School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blackhall

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
