About our floor joint sealing in Fairstead
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Fairstead, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.

- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

FAQs for Fairstead

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
What we are called out for in Fairstead
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
