What floor joint sealing looks like in Juniper Green
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
Letting a property close to Wester Hailes station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Juniper Green
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. If you’re dealing with floor edges that trap water and grime and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can help, on commercial floors, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Common problems we fix in Juniper Green
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Around Juniper Green, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Around Juniper Green, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Questions from Juniper Green
Will you come out to Juniper Green?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Juniper Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Juniper Green is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote.
