Floor joint sealing in Maplescombe, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Around Maplescombe, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

FAQs for Maplescombe
I let a flat near Eynsford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Maplescombe?
Yes, Maplescombe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When can I walk on the floor?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Joints and finishes in Maplescombe homes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Eynsford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Maplescombe, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What affects the quote in Maplescombe
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Maplescombe
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
In and around Maplescombe, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
