Why it’s worth doing now in Elmstone
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Elmstone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

About our floor joint sealing in Elmstone
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We are often asked to deal with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and open joints that fill with dirt, on tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Elmstone often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Elmstone
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Elmstone Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Preston Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Minster station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes.
