The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Kelvindale, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Kelvindale
Across Kelvindale, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. Typical jobs include perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors.
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 Kelvindale.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kelvindale and across Glasgow.

Kelvindale questions
Is floor joint sealing in Kelvindale guaranteed?
All our work, in Kelvindale and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Kelvindale in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kelvindale is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
New homes and floors in Kelvindale
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Cleveden Secondary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like St John's Renfield Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
What we’re called out for in Kelvindale
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Letting a property close to Kelvindale station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What else we do in Kelvindale
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. In a tenement flat in Kelvindale, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
