Floor joint sealing in High Garrett
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Common call-outs are for gaps opening between the floor and skirting and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, across skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like High Garrett, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like High Garrett, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Around High Garrett, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us

Different surfaces, different methods

Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Floor joint sealing in High Garrett: local notes
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Bocking Church Street Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Braintree station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover High Garrett and the rest of Essex.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
