Why it’s worth doing now in Gestingthorpe
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Gestingthorpe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, 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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Gestingthorpe

How we handle floor joint sealing in Gestingthorpe
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and open joints that fill with dirt.
In a village or hamlet like Gestingthorpe, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Gestingthorpe and across Essex.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.

- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
