FAQs for Glenmavis
I let a flat near Coatdyke station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. 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.
Is Glenmavis in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Glenmavis is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
About our floor joint sealing in Glenmavis
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right.
For a place like Glenmavis, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glenmavis
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Glenmavis
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around North Lanarkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Coatdyke station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Airdrie Academy? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- 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.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
