What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In West Pilton, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Floor joint sealing in West Pilton, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about tiled floors with no room to move and open joints that fill with dirt.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in West Pilton as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in West Pilton
Why act early in West Pilton
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in West Pilton, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt

What affects the quote in West Pilton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
What floor joint sealing looks like in West Pilton
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Managing a site like Ainslie Park High School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
