Floor joint sealing in Hardwick
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. Common call-outs are for dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and failed joint filler in concrete floors, on commercial floors, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Hardwick often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Hardwick and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Hardwick
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job.

- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Hardwick: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hardwick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hardwick?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hardwick is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
New homes and floors in Hardwick
Across Oxfordshire, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
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.
