Floor joint sealing in Polegate, done properly
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Common call-outs are for gaps opening between the floor and skirting and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
In smaller places like Polegate, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Common questions in Polegate
Is Polegate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Polegate.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Polegate
Floors around East Sussex 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Polegate Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Polegate station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Polegate is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

When to call us in Polegate
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
For buildings such as St John's Church of England Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
