- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open joints that fill with dirt
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Farthingloe
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Work in a small place like Farthingloe just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Farthingloe and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the quote in Farthingloe
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare

Joints and finishes in Farthingloe homes
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Aycliffe Church Centre are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Dover Priory station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Aycliffe Community Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Farthingloe is about 2 miles south-west of Dover, in Kent. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Farthingloe is covered for floor joint sealing, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Farthingloe is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Chelmsford is on our list too, around 55 miles away.
Work in CT15 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you are just outside Farthingloe, we cover Maxton (1 mile north-east), Aycliffe (1 mile south-east), Church Hougham (1 mile west), Dover (2 miles north-east) and West Hougham (2 miles west).

Nearby you’ll also find Buckland Hospital (1.2 miles north-east) and Old Town Gaol (1.6 miles north-east). The countryside around Farthingloe includes Dover Western Heights and Sugar Loaf Hill.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farthingloe
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Farthingloe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
