Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Garscadden
Across Garscadden, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. Typical jobs include skirting that has pulled away from the floor and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Garscadden as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.

Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Garscadden and the rest of Glasgow.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Garscadden?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Managing a site like Scotstoun Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Look at floor joints each spring
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.

Advice
Floor joint sealing around Garscadden
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Garscadden station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as St David's Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
