For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Floor joint sealing in Gladsmuir, done properly
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We work on commercial floors, tiled floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about failed joint filler in concrete floors and open joints that fill with dirt.
For a place like Gladsmuir, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business

- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Bouncy or failing floorboards

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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.
Joints and finishes in Gladsmuir homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around East Lothian run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Longniddry station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
What we are called out for in Gladsmuir
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
Community buildings like Gladsmuir Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
