Questions from Ickleford
I let a flat near Hitchin station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Ickleford for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ickleford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Which products 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, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Ickleford.
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
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 will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Floor joint sealing in Ickleford, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Ickleford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a small place like Ickleford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
When to call us in Ickleford
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Community buildings like Church of St Katharine are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Ickleford
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Ickleford Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Hitchin station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- 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.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
