How we handle floor joint sealing in Curriehill
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Curriehill
Is Curriehill in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Curriehill is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Curriehill station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Curriehill
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around Curriehill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Curriehill
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
For buildings such as Currie Kirk, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Currie High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Curriehill station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Curriehill can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
