Floor joint sealing in Woking, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Commercial units around a large town like Woking usually have concrete floors with joints that need filling and resealing as they wear. At home, it’s the same idea on a smaller scale: skirtings, thresholds and shower seals.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Woking and across Surrey.
Floor joint sealing around Woking
Across Surrey, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary of Bethany are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Goldsworth Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Woking
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
For landlords with property near Woking station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. In flats, shops and offices in Woking, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Woking questions

Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Woking?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Woking and the rest of Surrey, along with the rest of our area.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
