Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Chestfield
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Work in a small place like Chestfield just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Chestfield
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’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Chestfield?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Questions from Chestfield
I let a flat near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Chestfield for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chestfield is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Chestfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards

Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
