Floor joint sealing in Craigour
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Common call-outs are for concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Craigour, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Craigour
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
Every job is quoted individually. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not paint over silicone
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. In a tenement flat in Craigour, 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Craigour
- Fully insured

New homes and floors in Craigour
Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own 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 look after a building such as Liberton High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Liberton Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Shawfair station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
