Common problems we fix in Barnes Street
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Schools such as Hadlow Rural Community School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Floor joint sealing in Barnes Street, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you’re dealing with concrete floor joints that have broken down and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, on skirting boards, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
For a small place like Barnes Street, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Barnes Street: your questions answered
Will you come out to Barnes Street?
Yes. Barnes Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Barnes Street for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Barnes Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
New homes and floors in Barnes Street
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Beltring station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Golden Green Mission Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t paint over silicone
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.

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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Barnes Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
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.
