Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hothfield
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayesbrook School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

About our floor joint sealing in Hothfield
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints using a product that suits the floor. If you have rigid edge joints in tiled floors and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Hothfield often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial floors
Floor joint work in businesses can be planned around your hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Floor joint sealing in Hothfield: 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Margaret, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Charing station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Hothfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
