About our floor joint sealing in Craigcrook
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting 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 Craigcrook, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
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.

Common problems we fix in Craigcrook
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mary Erskine School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking in city streets around Craigcrook 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.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a tenement flat in Craigcrook, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We never seal over old sealant

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Craigcrook and across Edinburgh. Several sites can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Craigcrook: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Craigcrook?
Yes, Craigcrook is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near South Gyle station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Craigcrook?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Joints and finishes in Craigcrook homes
Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as St Columba's Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near South Gyle station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
