How we handle floor joint sealing in Plastow Green
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Plastow Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Floor joint sealing around Plastow Green
Floors around West Berkshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Cheam School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Thatcham station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Plastow Green
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Community buildings like Church of St Paul are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Common questions in Plastow Green
Will you come out to Plastow Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Plastow Green in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Plastow Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Plastow Green.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a small place like Plastow Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
