Floor joint sealing in Parkgrove, done properly

Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Typical jobs include failed joint filler in concrete floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors.

In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Parkgrove, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Floor joint sealing around Parkgrove

Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

If you look after a building such as Craigmount High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Questions from Parkgrove

What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Parkgrove?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Do you work for landlords with property near South Gyle station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Will I be able to paint over the new joint?

On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.

Why has a gap opened under my skirting?

Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.

How long before the joint can take traffic?

We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.

Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?

Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.

Can I do it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

When it is not the sealant

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

Leaks from a failed tanking system
Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

What the job involves on each surface

Commercial floors

Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.

Thresholds

A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

Photos by email, if that’s easy
The type of property
Roughly how big the job is

How the visit works

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Parkgrove, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.

We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.

Preparing for the visit

Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Mention any tricky access
Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
