What floor joint sealing looks like in Barkingside
Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Avanti Court Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. As a London address, Barkingside can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Barkingside
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. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Barkingside as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the tidy-up. In a London area like Barkingside, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote

Advice
Questions from Barkingside
Can you do floor joint sealing in Barkingside?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Barkingside is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Barkingside?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Common problems we fix in Barkingside
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
For landlords with property near Seven Kings station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
