New homes and floors in Frieth
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St John the Evangelist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Frieth Church of England Combined School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Floor joint sealing in Frieth
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. If you are dealing with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and worn sealant at door thresholds, we can help, on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints alike.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Why it’s worth doing now in Frieth
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Frieth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Frieth: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Marlow station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Frieth?
Yes. Frieth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Frieth, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What we are called out for in Frieth
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you let a flat or house near Marlow station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
