Floor & skirting joints in Shatterling, Kent
Problem with your floor joints in Shatterling? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
What we’re called out for in Shatterling
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
For landlords with property near Adisham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Floor joint sealing in Shatterling
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are open joints that fill with dirt and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Older homes in small places like Shatterling often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Shatterling
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.
Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Wingham Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What else we do in Shatterling
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Do not paint over silicone
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Common questions in Shatterling
Can you do floor joint sealing in Shatterling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shatterling is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Shatterling within the area you cover?
Yes. Shatterling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
