About our floor joint sealing in Bruntsfield
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Bruntsfield. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors alike.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Bruntsfield, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Parking in city streets around Bruntsfield can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Floor joint sealing in Bruntsfield: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Edinburgh, 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.
Managing a site like Boroughmuir High School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Morningside United Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why act early in Bruntsfield
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Private landlords in Bruntsfield must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Bruntsfield: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Bruntsfield guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Bruntsfield for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Bruntsfield is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
