About our floor joint sealing in Burkham
Across Burkham, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We are often asked to deal with threshold joints that have opened or worn and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Burkham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burkham
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burkham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

New homes and floors in Burkham
Across Hampshire, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Burkham, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. Letting a property close to Alton station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Yes, Burkham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Burkham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
