Henhurst Floor Joint Sealing
Problem with your floor joints in Henhurst? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
How we handle floor joint sealing in Henhurst
Across Henhurst, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
For a small place like Henhurst, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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 we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Henhurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.

Floor joint sealing around Henhurst
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Margaret are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Singlewell Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you let a flat or house near Sole Street station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
