About our floor joint sealing in Old Romney
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
Somewhere as small as Old Romney, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
New homes and floors in Old Romney
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Clement are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Marsh Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Questions from Old Romney
Is Old Romney in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Old Romney is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic and we’ll quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Romney
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Old Romney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
