Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Common problems we fix in Howe Street
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of SS Mary and Laurence, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
What floor joint sealing looks like in Howe Street
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Park station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Chelmer Valley High School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Howe Street questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Beaulieu Park station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Howe Street in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Howe Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Howe Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
