- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
About our floor joint sealing in Anderston
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints alike.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Anderston as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we are called out for in Anderston
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
For landlords with property near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Anderston, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.

- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive

What floor joint sealing looks like in Anderston
Across Glasgow, 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.
Managing a site like Glasgow Academy? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors

Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Anderston
Is floor joint sealing in Anderston guaranteed?
All our work, in Anderston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Anderston?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
