Floor joint sealing in Waterhales, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
Around Waterhales, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Waterhales needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
When to call us in Waterhales
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you look after a building such as Drapers' Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Waterhales can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Fully insured
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Waterhales questions
Will you come out to Waterhales?
Yes. Waterhales is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Waterhales?
Yes, Waterhales is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
