Floor joint sealing in Forton
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on skirting boards, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
For a new home in or near Forton, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.

New homes and floors in Forton
Across Hampshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Forton is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
FAQs for Forton
Is Forton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Forton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Forton?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Forton
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In an older home around Forton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Forton
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Tiled floors with no room to move
