About our floor joint sealing in Benenden
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Benenden just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Benenden and everywhere else we cover.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Benenden?
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For buildings such as Church of St George, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor

Questions from Benenden
Can you do floor joint sealing in Benenden?
Yes, Benenden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Benenden?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Let us know about the traffic and we will quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Benenden, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Benenden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
