Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Durlock
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and tiled floors with no room to move.
Around Durlock, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Durlock and across Kent.

Landlord and commercial work in Durlock
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Durlock needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Floor joint sealing in Durlock: local notes
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Durlock
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Why it’s worth doing now in Durlock
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Durlock, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
