How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Floor joint sealing in Appley, done properly
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 with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
For a new home in or near Appley, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Appley: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Appley?
Yes. Appley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Appley and the rest of the Isle of Wight, along with the rest of our area.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Floor joint sealing in Appley: local notes
Floors around the Isle of Wight run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St John's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Appley is about 1 mile east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Appley to the outskirts, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our the Isle of Wight coverage runs to 125 places, and Appley is one of them. Portsmouth is on our list too, about 6 miles from Appley.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Appley
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not paint over silicone
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
When to call us in Appley
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Rented homes near Ryde St Johns Road station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Appley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
