Floor joint sealing in Hackington
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Older homes in small places like Hackington often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Hackington, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Hackington
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
If you are in Hackington and need floor joint sealing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Don’t paint over silicone
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Hackington questions
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hackington?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hackington is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

New homes and floors in Hackington
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.
Rented homes near Canterbury West station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Archbishop's School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
