Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Sprat's Down
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
Somewhere as small as Sprat's Down, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Sprat's Down, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Sprat's Down
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St George, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Why act early in Sprat's Down
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Sprat's Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work
What floor joint sealing looks like in Sprat's Down
Across Hampshire, 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 Hamble station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Managing a site like Fawley Infant School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Sprat's Down
Will you come out to Sprat's Down?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Hamble station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
