Floor joint sealing in Fordwich
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
For a small place like Fordwich, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Fordwich and across Kent.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Fordwich
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Fordwich, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we will give you each time.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Fordwich
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Sturry station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
