Floor Joint Sealing in Murston
We cover Murston for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Murston
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can help.
In and around Murston, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.

FAQs for Murston
Can you do floor joint sealing in Murston?
Yes, Murston is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Murston and the rest of Kent.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
What we are called out for in Murston
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a building such as Sunny Bank Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Murston is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Floor joint sealing around Murston
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 Sittingbourne 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 All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a smaller place like Murston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
