Floor joint sealing around Knatts Valley
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own 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 Saint Mary the Virgin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Kemsing station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

About our floor joint sealing in Knatts Valley
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and floor edges that trap water and grime.
Around Knatts Valley, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Knatts Valley
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a small place like Knatts Valley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Knatts Valley
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a building such as West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Which products do you use?

In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
