Landlord and commercial work in Comely Bank
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Floor joint sealing in Comely Bank, done properly
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can put it right.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

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
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the quote in Comely Bank
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
FAQs for Comely Bank
Is Comely Bank in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Comely Bank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is floor joint sealing in Comely Bank guaranteed?
All our work, in Comely Bank and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours with out-of-hours work where needed.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. Inside a flat in Comely Bank, 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 look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Floor joint sealing in Comely Bank: local notes
Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own 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.
For buildings such as Dean Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Broughton High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
