About our floor joint sealing in Sharnal Street
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you’re dealing with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds alike.
Older homes in small places like Sharnal Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Around Sharnal Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Sharnal Street
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Community buildings like Church of St Margaret are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Is the work guaranteed?

What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.

In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
