Floor joint sealing in Boughton Lees
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. We’re often asked to deal with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, across commercial floors, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Around Boughton Lees, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Boughton Lees
Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Lees?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Boughton Lees?
Yes, Boughton Lees is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What we are called out for in Boughton Lees
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Christopher's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton Lees
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Boughton Lees, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Joints and finishes in Boughton Lees homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Letting a property close to Wye station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Towers School and Sixth Form Centre are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
