How we handle floor joint sealing in The Moor
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about skirting that has pulled away from the floor and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
For a small place like The Moor, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in The Moor
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Marlborough House School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint.

- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The Moor: your questions answered
Do you cover The Moor for floor joint sealing?
Yes, The Moor is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like The Moor?
Yes, The Moor is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around The Moor, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Floor joint sealing in The Moor: 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.
For landlords with property near Etchingham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Laurence, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
