Abbey Gate: your questions answered
Will you come out to Abbey Gate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Abbey Gate in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Abbey Gate is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Abbey Gate
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We are often asked to deal with failed joint filler in concrete floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, across skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
For a small place like Abbey Gate, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Floor joint sealing around Abbey Gate
Floors around Kent 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.
Letting a property close to Maidstone East station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abbey Gate
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Around Abbey Gate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work where it’s needed.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Abbey Gate
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandling Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
