Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Braehead
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and open joints that fill with dirt.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a place like Braehead, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

New homes and floors in Braehead
Floors around South Lanarkshire 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. 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 Thorntonhall station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Duncanrig Secondary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Braehead: your questions answered
Will you come out to Braehead?
Yes. Braehead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thorntonhall station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Braehead
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
