What we’re called out for in Appledore Heath
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Appledore Heath
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. Typical jobs include grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, on skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Appledore Heath, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Questions from Appledore Heath
Will you come out to Appledore Heath?
Yes. Appledore Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
