About our floor joint sealing in Magdalene
Across Magdalene, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and worn sealant at door thresholds.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in Magdalene.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Inside a flat in Magdalene, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Magdalene?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Magdalene?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Floor joint sealing in Magdalene: local notes
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 each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Brunstane station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
