- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
What we are called out for in Fairlands
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For landlords with property near Guildford station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What guarantee comes with the work
Floor joint sealing in Fairlands
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Fairlands often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Around Fairlands, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Fairlands needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

What else we do in Fairlands
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Fairlands
Do you cover smaller places like Fairlands?
Yes, Fairlands is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Guildford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Fairlands.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Fairlands
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Worplesdon Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as St Alban's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
