DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Netherton
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. In Netherton, a flexible sealant suits those joints better than filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In a tenement flat in Netherton, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

New homes and floors in Netherton
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Community buildings like Knightswood St Margaret's Parish Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Westerton station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Knightswood Secondary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Inside a flat in Netherton, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

Common questions in Netherton
Do you work for landlords with property near Westerton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Netherton?
All our work, in Netherton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
