Do you need floor joint sealing in Hartwood?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Around Hartwood, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

About our floor joint sealing in Hartwood
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you’re dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right, on skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Landlord and commercial work in Hartwood
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Don’t paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Hartwood
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hartwood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Hartwood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Hartwood and the rest of North Lanarkshire.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the amount of work. Around Hartwood, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

New homes and floors in Hartwood
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Hartwood station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
