How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work.
Floor joint sealing in Friar's Wash
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. Typical jobs include gaps at thresholds between rooms and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Somewhere as small as Friar's Wash, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Friar's Wash
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harpenden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Friar's Wash within the area you cover?
Yes. Friar's Wash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Friar's Wash.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Friar's Wash
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Friar's Wash needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What we are called out for in Friar's Wash
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Managing a site like Flamstead Village School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
