Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Crookston
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards alike.
Older tenement flats generally have timber floors on joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Crookston, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Crookston questions
Is Crookston in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Crookston is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Crookston?
All our work, in Crookston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
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.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a city area like Crookston, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Crookston?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you let a flat or house near Crookston station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.

Floor joint sealing around Crookston
Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Rosshall Academy are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
