How we handle floor joint sealing in Long Green
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
Around Long Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Long Green?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
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.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Long Green
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as St Barnabas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Braintree Freeport station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
What we are called out for in Long Green
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Schools such as Cressing Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Long Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Why act early in Long Green
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Long Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
