Floor & skirting joints in Craigton, Glasgow
Problem with your floor joints in Craigton? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Craigton
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. We work on thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Craigton, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Craigton
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Inside a flat in Craigton, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Joints and finishes in Craigton homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Glasgow, 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.
If you look after a building such as Craigton Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Craigton questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Cardonald station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Craigton for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Craigton is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long does floor joint sealing 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 give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
For landlords and businesses
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.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Common problems we fix in Craigton
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For landlords with property near Cardonald station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
