Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Croftfoot
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and open joints that fill with dirt.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Croftfoot, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Floor joint sealing around Croftfoot
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Margaret Mary's Secondary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you let a flat or house near Croftfoot station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a tenement in Croftfoot, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Croftfoot
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Croftfoot, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we’ll tell you both.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
