Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
About our floor joint sealing in Ruchazie
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about tiled floors with no room to move and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
In a Scottish city, commercial floors have movement joints and thresholds that wear under traffic. In Ruchazie, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ruchazie and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Ruchazie
Do you cover Ruchazie for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ruchazie is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Robroyston station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Ruchazie, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Ruchazie
Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Managing a site like St Andrew's Secondary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Robroyston station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
