Floor joint sealing in Portmore, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. Common call-outs are for cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Work in a small place like Portmore just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Portmore and everywhere else we cover.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Portmore, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- 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 and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why it’s worth doing now in Portmore
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Portmore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Floor joint sealing in Portmore: local notes
Across Hampshire, 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.
Schools such as Southlands School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Saint Nicholas Chapel, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Lymington Town station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Portmore questions
Is Portmore within the area you cover?
Yes. Portmore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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 Lymington Town station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You’ll get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
