Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Hunters Forstal
Across Hunters Forstal, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hunters Forstal, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hunters Forstal and across Kent.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hunters Forstal and across Kent. Several sites can go on one quote.
When to call us in Hunters Forstal
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Common questions in Hunters Forstal
Is Hunters Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes. Hunters Forstal is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Hunters Forstal, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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 cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

New homes and floors in Hunters Forstal
Across Kent, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Herne Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
