- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. In a small place like Wickham Bishops, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Wickham Bishops: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Wickham Bishops?
Yes, Wickham Bishops is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it usually comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
New homes and floors in Wickham Bishops
Floors around Essex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Witham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
