About our floor joint sealing in Berwick
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’re often asked to deal with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds.
Around Berwick, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Berwick
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Community buildings like Church of St Stephen are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Berwick: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Berwick?
Yes. Berwick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Berwick in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Berwick is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Berwick and the rest of Kent.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Floor joint sealing in Berwick: local notes
Across Kent, 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.
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Lympne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Berwick, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Berwick needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
