About our floor joint sealing in Westbere
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you’re dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Westbere, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Questions from Westbere
Do you cover Westbere for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westbere is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sturry station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors

- Concrete floor joints
Common problems we fix in Westbere
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a building such as Spires Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Westbere
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Sturry station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Westbere can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
