Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Ball Hill
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Somewhere as small as Ball Hill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Ball Hill questions
I let a flat near Kintbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ball Hill?
Yes, Ball Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
