Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hersden
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can help, on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Hersden, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines in a matching colour.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Hersden
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hersden
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In an older home around Hersden, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Hersden: local notes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Hersden Village Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Sturry station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
