We cover Herne Common for sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Herne Common
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you are dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can put it right.
Around Herne Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Herne Common and everywhere else we cover.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Floor joint sealing around Herne Common
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Martin are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Herne Church of England Infant School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Common questions in Herne Common
Is Herne Common in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Herne Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Herne Common?
Yes. Herne Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Herne Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Herne Common?
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
What affects the quote in Herne Common
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints

- Roughly how big the job is

For floor joint sealing in Herne Common, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Herne Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
