About our floor joint sealing in Corkerhill
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right.
Older tenement flats normally have timber floors on joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. In Corkerhill, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What affects the quote in Corkerhill
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Corkerhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
How the job changes 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.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
Joints and finishes in Corkerhill homes
Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St James' (Pollok) Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St. Paul's High School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you let a flat or house near Corkerhill station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Corkerhill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Corkerhill and the rest of Glasgow.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
