About our floor joint sealing in Pollokshields
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can put it right.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Pollokshields, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Pollokshields, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Inside a flat in Pollokshields, 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.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and finishes in Pollokshields homes
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Trinity U.F Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Craigholme School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Pollokshields West station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Common questions in Pollokshields
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Pollokshields?

Do you cover Pollokshields for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Pollokshields is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
