- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Why it’s worth doing now in Warriston
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Around Warriston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Floor joint sealing in Warriston, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Warriston: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Curriehill station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Warriston?
Yes, Warriston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Warriston?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.

New homes and floors in Warriston
Across Edinburgh, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own 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.
For buildings such as St Mary's Episcopal Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Currie High School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Curriehill station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
