Floor joint sealing in Lidsey
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. Typical jobs include floor edges that trap water and grime and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, across skirting boards, thresholds and commercial floors.
Work in a small place like Lidsey just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Lidsey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Lidsey
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Aldingbourne Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Lidsey?
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Around Lidsey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?

Questions from Lidsey
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham 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 work begins.
Will you come out to Lidsey?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Lidsey and the rest of West Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
