How we handle floor joint sealing in Coombe
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Around Coombe, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. Somewhere like Coombe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
New homes and floors in Coombe
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What else we do in Coombe
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Coombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
