Floor joint sealing in Horton-cum-Studley
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which is not made to be painted. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Horton-cum-Studley, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What we are called out for in Horton-cum-Studley
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Rented homes near Islip station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Horton-cum-Studley questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Islip station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Horton-cum-Studley in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Horton-cum-Studley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
