How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Heart's Delight
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Work in a small place like Heart's Delight just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Heart's Delight and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Floor joint sealing around Heart's Delight
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.
Rented homes near Snowdown station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Barham Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Heart's Delight
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
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.
