How we handle floor joint sealing in Ash
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
In and around Ash, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When to call us in Ash
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and can reach the subfloor.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Ash, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Floor joint sealing around Ash
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Landmarks near Ash
In Ash, that means homes and buildings near The Chequer Inn. Ash’s nearest station is Sandwich station, roughly 2.8 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include White Mill (2.1 miles east). Not far away are Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Ash, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

Ash: your questions answered
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone is not made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
