How we handle floor joint sealing in Ashbank
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Ashbank often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Ashbank: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ashbank?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Hollingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
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 we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Ashbank, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t paint over silicone
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Around Ashbank, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Floor joint sealing in Ashbank: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Nicholas's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Hollingbourne station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
