How we handle floor joint sealing in Barmulloch
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
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 Barmulloch as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Landlord and commercial work in Barmulloch
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Floor joint sealing in Barmulloch: local notes
Across Glasgow, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
When to call us in Barmulloch
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you let a flat or house near Barnhill station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
