New homes and floors in Bean
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.
Schools such as Bean Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What we are called out for in Bean
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you let a flat or house near Greenhithe for Bluewater station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Landlord and commercial work in Bean
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Bean
Can you do floor joint sealing in Bean?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bean is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is Bean within the area you cover?
Yes. Bean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Bean, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why it’s worth doing now in Bean
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bean can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
