Floor joint sealing in Pitshanger, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.

What else we do in Pitshanger
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Joints and finishes in Pitshanger homes
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, 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.
Managing a site like North Ealing Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Castle Bar Park station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Pitshanger is about 1 mile north of Ealing, in Greater London. Whether you are in the middle of Pitshanger or further out, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. 764 places in Greater London are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages. We also work in London, about 10 miles from Pitshanger.

What we’re called out for in Pitshanger
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Pitshanger is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Pitshanger: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Pitshanger?
Yes, Pitshanger is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Pitshanger?
Parking in Pitshanger, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Pitshanger, along with the rest of our area.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.
