Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Dean Village
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can help.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Dean Village as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing in Dean Village: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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 each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Holy Trinity Episcopal Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Haymarket station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Dean Village is about 1 mile north-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Dean Village get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Dean Village is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh we cover.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. In a city area like Dean Village, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.

Common problems we fix in Dean Village
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Managing a site like St Mary's Music School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
