Floor joint sealing in Sonning, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Sonning, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Sonning
Across Reading, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Twyford station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as St Andrew's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Sonning Church of England Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Sonning is about 1 mile north-west of Woodley, in Reading. From the centre of Sonning to the outskirts, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. We cover 34 towns and villages across Reading, from the larger towns to small villages.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sonning can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?

Advice
Sonning questions
Do you cover smaller places like Sonning?
Yes. Sonning is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Twyford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
