Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Floor joint sealing in Five Wents
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are open joints around bathroom floor edges and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Work in a small place like Five Wents just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Five Wents
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Five Wents: your questions answered
Can you do floor joint sealing in Five Wents?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Five Wents is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hollingbourne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Usually, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Joints and finishes in Five Wents 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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Five Wents, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Why act early in Five Wents
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In a small place like Five Wents, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: 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.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
