About our floor joint sealing in Jordanhill
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about worn sealant at door thresholds and tiled floors with no room to move.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Jordanhill
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Schools such as Jordanhill College are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jordanhill
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Private landlords in Jordanhill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Jordanhill
Do you work for landlords with property near Scotstounhill 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’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Jordanhill?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Jordanhill is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish so you can plan.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a city area like Jordanhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access

New homes and floors in Jordanhill
Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For buildings such as Jordanhill Parish Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Scotstounhill station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
