Floor & skirting joints in Broomfield, Kent
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Broomfield. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
When to call us in Broomfield
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Broomfield
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. We’re often asked to deal with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, across thresholds, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Broomfield often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broomfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Broomfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Broomfield: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hollingbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Broomfield?
Yes, Broomfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What affects the quote in Broomfield
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
New homes and floors in Broomfield
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Hollingbourne station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
