What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Greenbank
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Typical jobs include caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open joints around bathroom floor edges, across concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Greenbank as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Greenbank and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Greenbank
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Common problems we fix in Greenbank
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Managing a site like Firrhill High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Private landlords in Greenbank must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Joints and finishes in Greenbank homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Slateford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Questions from Greenbank
Is Greenbank in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Greenbank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Greenbank?
All our work, in Greenbank and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we’ll quote.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Greenbank?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
