Floor joint sealing in Alverstone
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. If you have failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right.
Around Alverstone, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Floor joint sealing in Alverstone: local notes
Across the Isle of Wight, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints' Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Newchurch Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Related advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Alverstone?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Rented homes near Sandown station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Why act early in Alverstone
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Alverstone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job

Alverstone questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Alverstone?
Yes, Alverstone is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandown station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Alverstone and the rest of the Isle of Wight.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
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.
