Landlord and commercial work in Penn
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Penn
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Older homes in small places like Penn often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Penn, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Penn

- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Common problems we fix in Penn
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Managing a site like Tylers Green First School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Questions from Penn
Will you come out to Penn?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Penn?
Yes, Penn is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Penn and the rest of Buckinghamshire, along with the rest of our area.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
New homes and floors in Penn
Across Buckinghamshire, 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.
Letting a property close to High Wycombe station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Margaret are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
