Floor joint sealing in Auldhouse
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. Typical jobs include gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and tiled floors with no room to move, on skirting boards, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In Auldhouse, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Auldhouse: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Auldhouse guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pollokshaws West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What sealant 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 visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Auldhouse, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote

- Roughly how big the job is

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.

Joints and finishes in Auldhouse homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hillpark Secondary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Pollokshaws Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
