Professional floor joint sealing in and around Stepps, with old sealant always removed completely.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Stepps
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. We are often asked to deal with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and floor edges that trap water and grime, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Floor joint sealing around Stepps
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outdoor work around Stepps depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Stepps: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Stepps?
Yes, Stepps is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stepps station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
