Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
About our floor joint sealing in Riddrie
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. Typical jobs include tiled floors with no room to move and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, so skirting joints open and close through the year. For a flat in Riddrie, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Riddrie as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Do not paint over silicone
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Riddrie?
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Rented homes near Alexandra Parade station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Related advice
Floor joint sealing around Riddrie
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.
Managing a site like St Andrew's Secondary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What affects the quote in Riddrie
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, 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.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Private landlords in Riddrie must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Riddrie?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
