Floor & skirting joints in Crouch, Kent
Problem with your floor joints in Crouch? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Floor joint sealing in Crouch
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have failed joint filler in concrete floors and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, we can put it right.
Around Crouch, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
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.

Joints and finishes in Crouch homes
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.
For landlords with property near Selling station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What we’re called out for in Crouch
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a building such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Also in Crouch
Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Crouch, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why act early in Crouch
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crouch can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
