Floor joint sealing in West Craigs, done properly
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. If you are dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right, on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors alike.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in West Craigs.

Common problems we fix in West Craigs
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Look out for these signs:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Common questions in West Craigs
Is West Craigs in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and West Craigs is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in West Craigs?
All our work, in West Craigs and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing in West Craigs: local notes
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Gateway station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

Asking for a quote

- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a city area like West Craigs, 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.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Ask for a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a tenement flat in West Craigs, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
