Specialist floor joint sealing for Sandling: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- 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. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Sandling
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you are dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and open joints that fill with dirt, we can help.

Common problems we fix in Sandling
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a building such as Sandling Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
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.
Surface by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sandling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Fully insured

For landlords with property near Maidstone East station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Sandling questions
I let a flat near Maidstone East station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Sandling for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sandling is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
