How we handle floor joint sealing in Whitecraigs
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. Typical jobs include dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on commercial floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Whitecraigs, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Whitecraigs questions
Is floor joint sealing in Whitecraigs guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I let a flat near Whitecraigs station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Whitecraigs?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost 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 work begins.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
When to call us in Whitecraigs
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you let a flat or house near Whitecraigs station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

New homes and floors in Whitecraigs
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Belmont House School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
