How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Floor joint sealing in Whitfield
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joint filler in concrete floors and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Whitfield, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Whitfield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Why it’s worth doing now in Whitfield
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Whitfield, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Whitfield

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint

New homes and floors in Whitfield
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.
Rented homes near Kearsney station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Common problems we fix in Whitfield
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitfield Aspen School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
