Floor joint sealing in Benslow, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We are often asked to deal with concrete floor joints that have broken down and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Benslow, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and commercial work in Benslow
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit to Benslow is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Benslow: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hitchin station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Benslow in your area for floor joint sealing?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Benslow?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Saviour, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
