About our floor joint sealing in Meadowbank
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Meadowbank as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Floor joint sealing around Meadowbank
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 they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mannafields Christian School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Duddingston Kirk, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Meadowbank questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Meadowbank?
Yes, Meadowbank is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Why act early in Meadowbank
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Meadowbank, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We agree the colour with you first
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Over 20 years’ experience
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a tenement in Meadowbank, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
