Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Boughton Malherbe
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Common call-outs are for caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Malherbe, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Boughton Malherbe questions
Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Malherbe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lenham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Boughton Malherbe and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Boughton Malherbe
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we’ll say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
New homes and floors in Boughton Malherbe
Across Kent, 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.
Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Lenham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Boughton Malherbe
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
