Floor joint sealing in Well Street, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. Typical jobs include grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds.
Work in a small place like Well Street 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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Well Street
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Schools such as The Malling School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing around Well Street
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near East Malling station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not paint over silicone
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Well Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Well Street?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near East Malling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Well Street
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Well Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
