Do you need floor joint sealing in Tilmanstone?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you let a flat or house near Shepherds Well station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Floor joint sealing in Tilmanstone, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and thresholds alike.
In a village or hamlet like Tilmanstone, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tilmanstone and across Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Tilmanstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.

Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Floor joint sealing in Tilmanstone: 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 Andrew are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
