I let a flat near Wickford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is normally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Brock Hill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Floor joint sealing in Brock Hill, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints alike.
For a small place like Brock Hill, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Brock Hill
New homes and floors in Brock Hill
Across Essex, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Wickford station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
When to call us in Brock Hill
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beauchamps High School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
Landlord and commercial work in Brock Hill
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brock Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Brock Hill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
