DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Tolleshunt Major
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Tolleshunt Major, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Tolleshunt Major
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Do not paint over silicone. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Common questions in Tolleshunt Major
Will you come out to Tolleshunt Major?
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.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Tolleshunt Major?
All our work, in Tolleshunt Major and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tolleshunt Major, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
