About our floor joint sealing in Whempstead
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. If you are dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Whempstead, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common questions in Whempstead
Do you cover smaller places like Whempstead?

Do you cover Whempstead for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Whempstead is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Whempstead.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
What we’re called out for in Whempstead
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Community buildings like Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether VAT is included
What affects the quote in Whempstead
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

- The number of rooms or windows
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Floor joint sealing in Whempstead: local notes
Across Hertfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Watton-At-Stone station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Munden Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not paint over silicone
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Whempstead, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
