What should I tell you?

Floor joint sealing in Arpinge: 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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Harcourt Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as St Oswald's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
What we’re called out for in Arpinge
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Rented homes near Folkestone West station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
