Questions from Mockbeggar
Can you do floor joint sealing in Mockbeggar?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Mockbeggar is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Higham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
About our floor joint sealing in Mockbeggar
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Around Mockbeggar, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Mockbeggar
Floors around Medway run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Cliffe Woods Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Mockbeggar, 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, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Mockbeggar
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you let a flat or house near Higham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mockbeggar, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
