New homes and floors in High Ruchill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cleveden Secondary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Ruchill Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. Those joints, and plot mastic for developers, are part of the work we cover in High Ruchill.

Common problems we fix in High Ruchill
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Letting a property close to Gilshochill station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
