About our floor joint sealing in Sighthill
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. For landlords in Sighthill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why Sighthill clients choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a tenement in Sighthill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Sighthill?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a building such as St. Roch's Secondary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Sighthill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnhill station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Sighthill?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New homes and floors in Sighthill
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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.
For landlords with property near Barnhill station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
