Floor & skirting joints in Fordcombe, Kent
Our applicators work in Fordcombe on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Fordcombe
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, on skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
Work in a small place like Fordcombe just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fordcombe and across Kent.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and tool it flush.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
If you’re in Fordcombe and need floor joint sealing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Fordcombe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
When to call us in Fordcombe
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

New homes and floors in Fordcombe
