About our floor joint sealing in West Coates
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. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open joints that fill with dirt.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Floor joint sealing around West Coates
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as St Mary's Music School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in West Coates
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in West Coates?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is West Coates in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, West Coates 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.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
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.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in West Coates
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
If you’re in West Coates and need floor joint sealing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. In a city area like West Coates, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. 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.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
