Landlord and commercial work in Drellingore
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 that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Drellingore
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help.
Around Drellingore, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Across Kent, 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.
Community buildings like Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Folkestone Central station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Drellingore: your questions answered
Will you come out to Drellingore?
Yes. Drellingore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Folkestone Central station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Drellingore?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
The process
When we get to you, 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, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Drellingore, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
