About our floor joint sealing in Kemsing
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and commercial floors.
In and around Kemsing, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Kemsing
Is Kemsing within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Kemsing in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kemsing is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. In an older home around Kemsing, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and finishes in Kemsing homes
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Otford station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Kemsing Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like Kemsing, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
