Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help.
For a new home in or near Herne, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Herne and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

New homes and floors in Herne
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Herne Church of England Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Herne is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Common problems we fix in Herne
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting, and rigid fillers crack.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For buildings such as Church of St Martin, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
