Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying

What floor joint sealing looks like in Broomhouse
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
Letting a property close to Baillieston station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as Baillieston St Andrew's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Common questions in Broomhouse
Is Broomhouse within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Broomhouse in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Broomhouse is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Broomhouse, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
What we’re called out for in Broomhouse
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
