Floor joint sealing in Upton, 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. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Older homes in small places like Upton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Upton?
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For buildings such as Church of St. Michael and All Angels, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

Common questions in Upton
I let a flat near Smallbrook Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Upton and the rest of the Isle of Wight, along with the rest of our area.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

Landlord and commercial work in Upton
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Upton, access is normally 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.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
