About our floor joint sealing in Southernden
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and open joints around bathroom floor edges.
Work in a small place like Southernden just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in Southernden
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints

Floor joint sealing around Southernden
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Southernden, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Southernden
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Older cottages and farmhouses around Southernden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost or what customers say.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Common questions in Southernden
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Southernden within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Southernden.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Southernden, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
