- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
About our floor joint sealing in Great Stonar
Across Great Stonar, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you are dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Great Stonar, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.

Great Stonar: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Great Stonar?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. 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 Great Stonar, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common problems we fix in Great Stonar
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you look after a building such as Sandwich Infant School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
New homes and floors in Great Stonar
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.
Community buildings like St Mary's Church 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 Sandwich station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
