How we handle floor joint sealing in Holy Corner
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which is not made to be painted. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors alike.
Older tenement flats usually have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Holy Corner, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

Joints and finishes in Holy Corner homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Iain Tomlin School of Music are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as North Morningside Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Haymarket station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. For landlords in Holy Corner, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Holy Corner
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Holy Corner?
All our work, in Holy Corner and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you work in Holy Corner?
Yes, we do. Holy Corner is part of the area we cover.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
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. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking in city streets around Holy Corner can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- 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.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Holy Corner
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
