Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hookwood
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. Common call-outs are for open joints around bathroom floor edges and threshold joints that have opened or worn, on skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Hookwood, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hookwood and across Surrey.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hookwood?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Letting a property close to Horley station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, 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 Hookwood, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now. In a small place like Hookwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Hookwood
Will you come out to Hookwood?
Yes, Hookwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Horley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Floor joint sealing in Hookwood: local notes
Floors around Surrey run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Manorfield Primary and Nursery School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
