The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Badlesmere needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How we handle floor joint sealing in Badlesmere
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We are often asked to deal with floor edges that trap water and grime and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds.
Around Badlesmere, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Floor joint sealing in Badlesmere: local notes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not 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 Sheldwich Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Selling station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Church of St Leonard are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Questions from Badlesmere
Is Badlesmere within the area you cover?
Yes. Badlesmere 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 cover Badlesmere for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Badlesmere is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Why deal with it now?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Badlesmere, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
