What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
About our floor joint sealing in Canonmills
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. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Canonmills, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Canonmills
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Canonmills?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you come to Canonmills?
Yes. We cover Canonmills, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing around Canonmills
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Private landlords in Canonmills must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Also in Canonmills
Do you need floor joint sealing in Canonmills?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Schools such as Drummond Community High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a tenement in Canonmills, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
