Floor joint sealing in Church Hill, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, across tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Church Hill.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Church Hill
Do you cover Church Hill for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Church Hill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Church Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a city area like Church Hill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.

- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Floor joint sealing in Church Hill: local notes
Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is 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.
Community buildings like Churchill Theatre are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Iain Tomlin School of Music, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Haymarket station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
