How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Floor joints in bathrooms take water every day. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone that keeps water out.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hickmans Green
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Hickmans Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Hickmans Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Do you need floor joint sealing in Hickmans Green?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Barnabas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Hickmans Green questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hickmans Green?
Yes, Hickmans Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone won’t take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.

- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Structural movement or subsidence

Floor joint sealing around Hickmans Green
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
