Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Sole Street
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, on skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Sole Street, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Sole Street and across Kent.

Questions from Sole Street
Do you work for landlords with property near Sole Street station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Sole Street?
Yes, Sole Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Sole Street and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
