About our floor joint sealing in Boreham
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Boreham, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Joints and finishes in Boreham homes
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boreham Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Andrew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Boreham is about 3 miles north-east of Chelmsford, in Essex. Jobs in Boreham get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Boreham is one of 644 towns and villages in Essex where we work for floor joint sealing.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. A visit to Boreham 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.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Boreham
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Park station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a smaller place like Boreham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Yes, Boreham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Beaulieu Park station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Boreham, along with the rest of our area.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boreham
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
