About our floor joint sealing in Bedlar's Green
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Bedlar's Green just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Bedlar's Green and across Essex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Bedlar's Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive

- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Bedlar's Green
Can you do floor joint sealing in Bedlar's Green?
Yes, Bedlar's Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bishops Stortford station?

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Bedlar's Green and the rest of Essex, along with the rest of our area.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bedlar's Green
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bedlar's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Bedlar's Green: local notes
Across Essex, 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Birchwood High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Church of St Giles are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
