Why deal with it now?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Around Highstreet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Highstreet
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
For a small place like Highstreet, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

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.

Highstreet: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Whitstable station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Highstreet for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Highstreet is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Highstreet, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Highstreet
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Rented homes near Whitstable station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
