Floor Joint Sealing in East Malling
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for homes and businesses in East Malling and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
About our floor joint sealing in East Malling
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. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around East Malling, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in East Malling and across Kent.

A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases.

- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we cannot put right

Questions from East Malling
Can you do floor joint sealing in East Malling?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Malling is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like East Malling?
Yes. East Malling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. Homes in smaller places like East Malling can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
