How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking in city streets around Stenhouse can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we handle floor joint sealing in Stenhouse
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. Typical jobs include rigid edge joints in tiled floors and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Stenhouse, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Floor joint sealing around Stenhouse
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Balgreen Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Stenhouse: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Stenhouse?
Yes, Stenhouse is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Slateford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
