Floor & skirting joints in Birchington, Kent
Floor joint sealing across Birchington and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Birchington
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Birchington, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Birchington, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Birchington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

When it is not the sealant

Floor joint sealing around Birchington
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Birchington-On-Sea station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Birchington Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
