Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Maxton
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Maxton. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you have cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Maxton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Maxton as everywhere else we work.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Maxton
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t 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 Dover Priory 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 Martin's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Maxton
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Martin's School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Maxton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Maxton?
Yes. Maxton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dover Priory station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
