Landlords, agents and businesses in Boyden Gate
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Boyden Gate
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and tiled floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Boyden Gate often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Boyden Gate
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges. In a small place like Boyden Gate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Floor joint sealing in Boyden Gate: 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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Check the joints after the first winter. 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.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Boyden Gate, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by 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.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Questions from Boyden Gate
Is Boyden Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Boyden Gate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Boyden Gate is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
