What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Finglesham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we handle floor joint sealing in Finglesham
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. Common call-outs are for open joints around bathroom floor edges and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds.
Around Finglesham, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.

Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. In a small place like Finglesham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Floor joint sealing in Finglesham: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St George, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Do you cover smaller places like Finglesham?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint and wet areas get silicone.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
