How we handle floor joint sealing in Newcraighall
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Typical jobs include failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Newcraighall, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
What happens if it’s left?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Private landlords in Newcraighall must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a tenement in Newcraighall, 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.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

FAQs for Newcraighall
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Newcraighall?
All our work, in Newcraighall and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Newcraighall in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Newcraighall is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Joints and finishes in Newcraighall homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

When to call us in Newcraighall
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. 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:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you let a flat or house near Newcraighall station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
Every job is quoted individually. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
