Floor joint sealing in Matfield
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Matfield. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. Common call-outs are for failed joint filler in concrete floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Matfield, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. In a small place like Matfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Joints and finishes in Matfield homes
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.
If you let a flat or house near Paddock Wood station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Matfield
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open, then close again in damper months.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For buildings such as Ebenezer Church (Matfield), floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book

- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
