Floor joint sealing in Lunsford
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. If you have threshold joints that have opened or worn and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help, on thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors alike.
Homes around Lunsford range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Around Lunsford, 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Lunsford?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you let a flat or house near New Hythe station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
FAQs for Lunsford
Is Lunsford within the area you cover?
Yes, Lunsford is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near New Hythe station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Floor joint sealing in Lunsford: 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 Lunsford Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. In a smaller place like Lunsford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
