Should I try it myself first?
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’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Ferniehill
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Ferniehill, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a tenement in Ferniehill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We are fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

Joints and finishes in Ferniehill homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
For landlords with property near Shawfair station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Ferniehill
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Schools such as Liberton High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Ferniehill questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ferniehill?

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 work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
