How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Floor joint sealing in Dawsholm, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Dawsholm, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Dawsholm?
All our work, in Dawsholm and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.

Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep dirt out of the joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
New homes and floors in Dawsholm
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Managing a site like Cleveden Secondary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Kelvindale station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Why act early in Dawsholm
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Dawsholm, damp can travel a long way before it shows.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a city area like Dawsholm, 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.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
