Floor joint sealing in Hareshaw, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and open joints that fill with dirt.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Hareshaw
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across North Lanarkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Cleland station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What else we do in Hareshaw
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hareshaw
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

FAQs for Hareshaw
Do you cover Hareshaw for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Hareshaw is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cleland station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Advice
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Common problems we fix in Hareshaw
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Managing a site like Brannock High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
