Floor & skirting joints in Betsham, Kent

About our floor joint sealing in Betsham
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can help, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds alike.
Somewhere as small as Betsham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Betsham
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Schools such as Sedley's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Betsham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

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.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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.

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
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 sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Betsham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
