Floor joint sealing in Old Warren
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We’re often asked to deal with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Old Warren, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Old Warren needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Old Warren: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldermaston station?

Is Old Warren in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Old Warren is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Usually, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint

Floor joint sealing around Old Warren
Across West Berkshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own 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 The Parish Church of St.Saviours, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
