About our floor joint sealing in Bughtlin
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We’re often asked to deal with grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Bughtlin, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Bughtlin
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a city area like Bughtlin, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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 and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.

Joints and finishes in Bughtlin homes
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Rented homes near Edinburgh Gateway station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Bughtlin is about 4 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Whether you are in the middle of Bughtlin or further out, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, Bughtlin among them.

What’s near Bughtlin
For rail, the closest station is Edinburgh Gateway station, roughly 1 mile south-west. A little further out are Craigcrook Castle (1.6 miles east) and Corstorphine Hospital (1.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Bughtlin includes Dundas Loch and The New Leaf Co-op.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Why act early in Bughtlin
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
