How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Kent Street
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Somewhere as small as Kent Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Kent Street
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

- The number and length of the joints

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Joints and finishes in Kent Street homes
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.
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as St Lawrence's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

When to call us in Kent Street
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints that fill with dirt
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kings Hill School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
Work for landlords, hotels 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.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.

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.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
