Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Gracemount
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Typical jobs include open joints around bathroom floor edges and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Gracemount.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Joints and finishes in Gracemount homes
Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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.
Schools such as Gracemount High School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

FAQs for Gracemount
Is floor joint sealing in Gracemount guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I let a flat near Shawfair station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a tenement in Gracemount, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Gracemount, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

- Arbo and Everbuild products
Do you need floor joint sealing in Gracemount?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you let a flat or house near Shawfair station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
