How we handle floor joint sealing in Marley
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Somewhere as small as Marley, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
If you are in Marley and need floor joint sealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Marley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere like Marley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Marley: your questions answered
Is Marley within the area you cover?
Yes, Marley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Marley?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic when you ask for a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Joints and finishes in Marley homes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Harrietsham station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Do not paint over silicone
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
