Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will the old sealant be removed?

How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Floor joint sealing in Joppa
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards alike.
For a place like Joppa, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

- Any working-time requirements on site

What we’re called out for in Joppa
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Philip's Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Joppa
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Brunstane station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a place like Joppa, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Outdoor work around Joppa depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
