Floor joint sealing in Boughton Aluph, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
Work in a small place like Boughton Aluph just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Boughton Aluph needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
FAQs for Boughton Aluph
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wye station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Aluph?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Floor joint sealing around Boughton Aluph
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints’ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Wye station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like Wye School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Boughton Aluph, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
