Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Mile End
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Mile End, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
When to call us in Mile End
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For landlords with property near Colchester station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like Mile End, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Floor joint sealing in Mile End: local notes
Across Essex, 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Myland Community Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mile End
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Homes in smaller places like Mile End can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
