How we handle floor joint sealing in Lower Horncroft
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Older homes in small places like Lower Horncroft often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lower Horncroft and everywhere else we cover.

Joints and finishes in Lower Horncroft homes
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Fittleworth CofE Village School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common questions in Lower Horncroft
Is Lower Horncroft within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Lower Horncroft?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lower Horncroft is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Lower Horncroft and the rest of West Sussex.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
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 new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Why act early in Lower Horncroft
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Around Lower Horncroft, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
