Common questions in Herne Pound
Will you come out to Herne Pound?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Wateringbury station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water cannot get into the gap.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Floor joint sealing in Herne Pound, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. Typical jobs include failed joint filler in concrete floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Herne Pound, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Herne Pound and across Kent.

What else we do in Herne Pound
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a small place like Herne Pound, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

When to call us in Herne Pound
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Lawrence's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a small place like Herne Pound, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Herne Pound
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.
For landlords with property near Wateringbury station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Managing a site like Mereworth Community Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
