How we handle floor joint sealing in Lower Assendon
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you’re dealing with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can put it right, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds alike.
Around Lower Assendon, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Assendon
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 that we can handle for you.
Letting agents and landlords in Lower Assendon can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Assendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lower Assendon
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Assendon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Lower Assendon
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
