Joints and finishes in Higham homes
Across Medway, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Higham station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St John, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Higham
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Higham, 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.

When to call us in Higham
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
Managing a site like Higham Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Higham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why it’s worth doing now in Higham
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Higham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
