About our floor joint sealing in Cadder
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We’re often asked to deal with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
For a place like Cadder, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Floor joint sealing in Cadder: local notes
Across East Dunbartonshire, 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For landlords with property near Bishopbriggs station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Bishopbriggs Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Cadder
Is Cadder in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Cadder is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bishopbriggs station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Cadder
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For buildings such as Cadder Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
