Floor joint sealing in Westwood, done properly
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Somewhere as small as Westwood, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we’re called out for in Westwood
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Westwood
Is Westwood in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Westwood is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Westwood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Westwood, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Different surfaces, different methods

Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Floor joint sealing around Westwood
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Bean Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Longfield station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
