Floor joint sealing in Glenbrook: local notes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a building such as Balerno Community High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Curriehill station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Common questions in Glenbrook
Will you come out to Glenbrook?
Yes, Glenbrook is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Curriehill station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Glenbrook
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
For floor joint sealing in Glenbrook, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In a place like Glenbrook, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Glenbrook?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Balerno Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Outside jobs in Glenbrook need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
