- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Linthouse
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. Common call-outs are for grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Linthouse, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Linthouse
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Linthouse, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Floor joint sealing around Linthouse
Across Glasgow, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Managing a site like Govan High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Linthouse Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Cardonald station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
