Joints and finishes in Finberry 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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Finberry Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Floor joint sealing in Finberry, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are failed joint filler in concrete floors and worn sealant at door thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Finberry often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Finberry, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Finberry
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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 we are called out for in Finberry
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
