Floor joint sealing in Great Notley
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and floor edges that trap water and grime.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Great Notley, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Joints and finishes in Great Notley homes
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Braintree station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Church in Great Notley, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Questions from Great Notley
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Great Notley?
Yes, Great Notley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Great Notley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance.

- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Great Notley
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as White Court School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?

- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Homes in smaller places like Great Notley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
