Floor Joint Sealing in Bitterne Park
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for homes and businesses in Bitterne Park and across Southampton. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
About our floor joint sealing in Bitterne Park
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are concrete floor joints that have broken down and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Bitterne Park, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Questions from Bitterne Park
Will you come out to Bitterne Park?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bitterne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. In a smaller place like Bitterne Park, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Parking around Bitterne Park is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Joints and finishes in Bitterne Park homes
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
