Floor joint sealing in Broomfield, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. Common call-outs are for dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Broomfield, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Somewhere like Broomfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Floor joint sealing in Broomfield: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Herne Church of England Infant School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Broomfield
Will you come out to Broomfield?
Yes. Broomfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
