How we handle floor joint sealing in Lennie
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common problems we fix in Lennie
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Rented homes near Edinburgh Gateway station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Common questions in Lennie
Will you come out to Lennie?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Lennie for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lennie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How it works
Once we are 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. For a place like Lennie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- 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 and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Lennie: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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 each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why act early in Lennie
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
