Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Common questions in Potters Bar
Is floor joint sealing in Potters Bar guaranteed?
All our work, in Potters Bar and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Potters Bar station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you come to Potters Bar?
Yes. We work in Potters Bar and the rest of Hertfordshire. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
