About our floor joint sealing in Cowlairs
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and open joints that fill with dirt.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Cowlairs as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Cowlairs
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Cowlairs, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Cowlairs?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
If you let a flat or house near Ashfield station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Private landlords in Cowlairs must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Questions from Cowlairs
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashfield station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Cowlairs?
Yes, Cowlairs 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, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Cowlairs?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.

New homes and floors in Cowlairs
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, 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 don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St. Roch's Secondary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
