About our floor joint sealing in West Malling
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
In smaller places like West Malling, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. Parking around West Malling is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in West Malling
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled

Floor joint sealing in West Malling: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to West Malling station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as More Park Catholic Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in West Malling
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: 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. Around West Malling, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in West Malling
I let a flat near West Malling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to West Malling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We’ll tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
