About our floor joint sealing in Kennishead
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Kennishead as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Inside a flat in Kennishead, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

What else we do in Kennishead
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
FAQs for Kennishead
Is floor joint sealing in Kennishead guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Kennishead?
Yes, Kennishead is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Kennishead?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

Common problems we fix in Kennishead
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hillpark Secondary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen
Joints and finishes in Kennishead homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
