Floor joint sealing in Plaxtol
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and tiled floors with no room to move.
Work in a small place like Plaxtol just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

New homes and floors in Plaxtol
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station change hands often, and 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 Plaxtol Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Plaxtol Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Bouncy or failing floorboards

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
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.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Plaxtol, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Plaxtol, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Plaxtol: your questions answered
Is Plaxtol within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours with out-of-hours work where needed.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
