Floor & skirting joints in Dungate, Kent
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for Dungate, backed by a one-year guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Dungate
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Dungate, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Dungate, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

New homes and floors in Dungate
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Catherine are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Dungate

- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Common questions in Dungate
Do you work for landlords with property near Sittingbourne station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Dungate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Dungate?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Dungate, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
