Floor & skirting joints in Dungeness, Kent
Our applicators work in Dungeness on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
When to call us in Dungeness
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints that fill with dirt
For jobs in and around Dungeness, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
How we handle floor joint sealing in Dungeness
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you are dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Dungeness, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Dungeness and across Kent.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Joints and finishes in Dungeness homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Around Dungeness, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions from Dungeness
Is Dungeness in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Dungeness is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Dungeness?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Landlord and commercial work in Dungeness
Landlords and letting agents in Dungeness can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. Somewhere as small as Dungeness, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dungeness can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
