Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Speldhurst
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Speldhurst, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Floor joint sealing in Speldhurst: local notes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Tunbridge Wells station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Speldhurst: your questions answered
Is Speldhurst in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Speldhurst is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Speldhurst
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Managing a site like Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead especially in the first few days.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Advice
Why act early in Speldhurst
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Speldhurst can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
