How we handle floor joint sealing in Ditton
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice because it handles water. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Ditton, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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 the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Ditton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Around Ditton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Old sealant always removed completely
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Common problems we fix in Ditton
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Schools such as Ditton Infant School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Questions from Ditton
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ditton?
Yes, Ditton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it, colour-matched where it shows.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
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. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
