About our floor joint sealing in Norcot
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Homes around Norcot range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Floor joint sealing in Norcot: local notes
Floors around Reading run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Tilehurst station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Tilehurst Methodist Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Meadow Park Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.

What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Norcot and the rest of Reading, along with the rest of our area.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Homes in smaller places like Norcot can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
