New homes and floors in Maidstone
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St Philip's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Maidstone West station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

About our floor joint sealing in Maidstone
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Maidstone. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Plenty of homes in Maidstone are on estates built in the last few decades, where the builder’s original sealant around baths, frames and skirtings may be due for replacing. We work for developers on plot mastic and for owners on snagging.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Maidstone?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
Schools such as South Borough Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. For businesses in Maidstone, a room closed because of a leak or mould costs more than the sealant, so failing joints are best replaced on a planned basis.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
