New homes and floors in Maybury
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 they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Craigmount High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Maybury is about 4 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. Across the EH12 area, we cover floor joint sealing for homes and businesses. Our area takes in 175 places across Edinburgh, large and small.
Work in EH12 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need floor joint sealing at a property on Niven Road, Windle Road and Gyle Avenue or anywhere close by, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out floor joint sealing in West Craigs (1 mile north-west), East Craigs (1 mile north), Gogar (1 mile south-west), Bughtlin (1 mile north) and Cammo (1 mile north). Further out, we also cover Edinburgh (4 miles east), Leith (6 miles north-east), Bonnington (6 miles east), Greenside (5 miles east), Broughton (5 miles east) and Bellevue (5 miles east).

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Maybury
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Common call-outs are for chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In Maybury, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. Parking in city streets around Maybury can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Maybury
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before

What we are called out for in Maybury
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Gateway station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Maybury questions
Is Maybury in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Maybury is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Maybury?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Maybury and the rest of Edinburgh.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Leave it or put it right?
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 a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
