Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Floor joint sealing in Appledore, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds alike.
Older homes in small places like Appledore often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Appledore can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Appledore: your questions answered
Is Appledore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Appledore?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Appledore is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Appledore
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
