How we handle floor joint sealing in Egerton Forstal
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and tiled floors with no room to move, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Egerton Forstal often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Older cottages and farmhouses around Egerton Forstal can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Egerton Forstal, access is usually 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.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Egerton Forstal
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Egerton Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as Church of St James, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Pluckley station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Questions from Egerton Forstal
I let a flat near Pluckley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Egerton Forstal?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
