Why act early in Ingliston
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Ingliston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Ingliston
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at thresholds between rooms and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
Around smaller Scottish places like Ingliston, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
New homes and floors in Ingliston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Ingliston?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.

- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Gateway station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Ingliston: your questions answered
Will you come out to Ingliston?
Yes, Ingliston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Ingliston for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Ingliston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
