Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
Floor joint sealing in Sandgate
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. Common call-outs are for gaps opening between the floor and skirting and gaps at thresholds between rooms, on skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Sandgate often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Sandgate, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Sandgate
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- 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 you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Should I try it myself first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

FAQs for Sandgate
Is Sandgate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
New homes and floors in Sandgate
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as The Folkestone School for Girls are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Letting a property close to Folkestone West station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
