What floor joint sealing looks like in Bitterne Manor
Floors around Southampton run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Bitterne station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Denys, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In an older home around Bitterne Manor, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Bitterne Manor?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Schools such as Bitterne Manor Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bitterne Manor
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
