How we handle floor joint sealing in Craigleith
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Craigleith, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a tenement flat in Craigleith, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Floor joint sealing in Craigleith: local notes
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
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. Schools such as Broughton High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Craigleith?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Community buildings like Dean Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you remove the old sealant?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Where do you work from?

Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Inside a flat in Craigleith, 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 start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
