About our floor joint sealing in Salvington
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 using a product that suits the floor. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around Salvington, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling

Common questions in Salvington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Worthing station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Salvington in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Salvington 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, 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.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Salvington 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

New homes and floors in Salvington
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like St Symphorian's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Durrington Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common problems we fix in Salvington
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Rented homes near West Worthing station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
