Floor & skirting joints in Bicknor, Kent
Our applicators work in Bicknor on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Bicknor
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. If you are dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Bicknor often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Bicknor, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Floor joint sealing in Bicknor: local notes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St James, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant.
What we are called out for in Bicknor
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For landlords with property near Hollingbourne station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
