FAQs for Mackerel's Common
Is Mackerel's Common 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Mackerel's Common?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Mackerel's Common
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We’re often asked to deal with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors.
Older homes in small places like Mackerel's Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Around Mackerel's Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Do not paint over silicone
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
