How we handle floor joint sealing in Sutton
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Sutton, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Sutton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Joints and finishes in Sutton homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Around Sutton

Common problems we fix in Sutton
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you let a flat or house near Martin Mill station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Around Sutton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.

Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
When can I walk on the floor?
You’ll get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
