Floor joint sealing in Guilton
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you have worn sealant at door thresholds and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Guilton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Guilton questions
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Guilton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Guilton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Guilton
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Guilton
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a small place like Guilton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Guilton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
