How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Floor joint sealing in Bishopstone
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are threshold joints that have opened or worn and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Bishopstone, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Bishopstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Bishopstone
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Bishopstone (Sussex) station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Seaford Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
