About our floor joint sealing in Lamb Corner
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We are often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
For a small place like Lamb Corner, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lamb Corner
I let a flat near Manningtree station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Lamb Corner in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Lamb Corner is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

What we’re called out for in Lamb Corner
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
New homes and floors in Lamb Corner
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Manningtree station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Lamb Corner needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lamb Corner can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
