Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Guston
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice because it handles water. If you are dealing with perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can help.
Around Guston, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Guston and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Guston
I let a flat near Martin Mill 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’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Guston?
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 sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Why act early in Guston
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Guston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Guston needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Common problems we fix in Guston
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Martin of Tours, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Floor joint sealing around Guston
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Duke of York's Royal Military School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Martin Mill station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
