How we handle floor joint sealing in Calcott
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. If you are dealing with chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can help, on commercial floors, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Calcott often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. In a small place like Calcott, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New homes and floors in Calcott
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 Sturry station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Sturry Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Calcott: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Sturry station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Calcott within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
