Floor joint sealing in Shettleston
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can help, whatever the surface.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Shettleston and across Glasgow.

What affects the quote in Shettleston
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Common problems we fix in Shettleston
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you let a flat or house near Carntyne station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- 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 booking.

Joints and finishes in Shettleston homes
Across Glasgow, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Schools such as Eastbank Academy are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Parking in city streets around Shettleston can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Private landlords in Shettleston must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Shettleston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Carntyne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Shettleston for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Shettleston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
