About our floor joint sealing in Ebbsfleet Valley
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints around bathroom floor edges, on skirting boards, thresholds and commercial floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Ebbsfleet Valley, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why act early in Ebbsfleet Valley
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In an older home around Ebbsfleet Valley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Full insurance on every job
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Common questions in Ebbsfleet Valley
Do you cover smaller places like Ebbsfleet Valley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.

Joints and finishes in Ebbsfleet Valley homes
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cherry Orchard Primary Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What else we do in Ebbsfleet Valley
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Ebbsfleet Valley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
