Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Floor joint sealing in Burghfield
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
For a small place like Burghfield, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

What else we do in Burghfield
Do you need floor joint sealing in Burghfield?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Burghfield
Across Reading, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Theale station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Burghfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Burghfield questions
Will you come out to Burghfield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Burghfield?
Yes, Burghfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds

Why act early in Burghfield
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Around Burghfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
