What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Upper Basildon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Upper Basildon, done properly
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Somewhere as small as Upper Basildon, 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.

Floor joint sealing around Upper Basildon
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Pangbourne station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Schools such as Basildon C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Upper Basildon: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Upper Basildon?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Upper Basildon is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Upper Basildon within the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Basildon is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Upper Basildon and the rest of Oxfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
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 pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What we’re called out for in Upper Basildon
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Stephen's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Basildon, 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’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What else we do in Upper Basildon
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
