Floor joint sealing in Marlpit Hill
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. We’re often asked to deal with threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, across commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Work in a small place like Marlpit Hill just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Marlpit Hill
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Schools such as Edenbridge Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.

Questions from Marlpit Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edenbridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Marlpit Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll 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.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
