How we handle floor joint sealing in Wickham
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice, which is not made to be painted. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joint filler in concrete floors and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Work in a small place like Wickham just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Wickham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Large cracks that need a surveyor

FAQs for Wickham
Is Wickham in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Wickham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Wickham, along with the rest of our area.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Wickham, 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’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

New homes and floors in Wickham
Across West Berkshire, 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.
Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Swithin, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Common problems we fix in Wickham
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Managing a site like Welford and Wickham C.E. Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
