Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Marshborough
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Around Marshborough, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Marshborough
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Marshborough, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Marshborough
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Schools such as Sandwich Technology School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

FAQs for Marshborough
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Marshborough?
Yes. Marshborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
