About our floor joint sealing in West Calder
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Landlord and commercial work in West Calder
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around West Calder, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around West Calder depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

Floor joint sealing around West Calder
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around West Lothian 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.
For landlords with property near West Calder station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Around West Calder, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

West Calder: your questions answered
Is West Calder in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and West Calder is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Calder station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
