Dalmeny: your questions answered
Is Dalmeny in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Dalmeny is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Dalmeny within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Floor joint sealing in Dalmeny
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We’re often asked to deal with open joints around bathroom floor edges and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors.
Work in a place like Dalmeny is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Dalmeny
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For landlords with property near Dalmeny station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What else we do in Dalmeny
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Around Dalmeny, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Joints and finishes in Dalmeny homes
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Managing a site like Queensferry High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Dalmeny Kirk, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
