How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Newpound Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Floor joint sealing in Newpound Common, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Newpound Common, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newpound Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Newpound Common: your questions answered
Is Newpound Common in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Newpound Common is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Newpound Common
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not paint over silicone
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
